Facts about the "Hebrew Primacy" movement

[Paul Younan]

The only viable defence a Hebrew primacist could render is that Judean Aramaic was called "Hebrew" in the 1st century, and even through the fourth century AD and until today, Aramaeans refer to Judean Aramaic in Iraq & elsewhere (as Paul has related) as "Ebryth" -"Hebrew".

In that sense, I am a Hebrew primacist, as is Paul Younan, Andrew Roth, Albion, Otto, Yaaqub, Ryan, etc..

Well said, Akhan Dave.

We are also Syriac Primacists, Chaldaic Primacists, Assyrian Primacists, Nabatean Primacists, Samaritan Primacists, Galilean Primacists, Melkite Primacists........and any-other-word-this-language-has-been-known-by-over-the-centuries-Primacists.

Never in my life have I seen one language referred to by so many different names. Whoever adopted Aramaic in the past took it and made it their own by adding their ethnic designation to it.
