Armaya or Aramaya?
#9
orynider, I hope you are still around these forums. The theory that you expound is quite interesting, never heard of it before. Any historical references to back it up, though?

I am Romanian myself, and I had the chance to listen to Aromanian being spoken. Although it sounds so funny, it is very much intelligible to me. I find it also amazing that it sounds quite similar to the kind of Romanian people in villages of North Maramuresh (north of Romania) speak. Yet Aromanians live way down south from north of Romania and in history they were isloated by at least one non-latin speaking country...

I visited once an Aramaic speaking church here in Chicago and the priest there asked me my last name. When I said "borota" he said that was most probably of Aramaic origin, meaning the blessed one (if I recall correctly)... Does this sound like far fetched to any of you Aramaic experts out there?

Then I also found an article on the web, asserting that Romanian has some peculiar features that are common with Imperial Aramaic. But that's all I actually know of to support the aramaic origins of my native language :- ). I don't recall anything that was taught in school even hinting of what you propose - that our language has Aramaic and Persian origins.
