Word play in aramaic and syriac

[memradya]

Shlama' Younan and Steve

After your "disputatio" about the dialect of Jesus, I want to know your opinion : Did Jesus use one ?international? dialect with maybe some dialectal adaptations (Jesus would have use a single dialect in Galilee, Samaria, Judea and was understood) or did Jesus use several dialects according to the place where he was preaching (he used Galilean in Galilee, Samaritan Aramaic in Samaria to be understood)?

John the Baptist (a Judean and not a Galilean according to Luke 1:39) would have used the same dialect as Jesus?

And if you have some texts testimoniing the galilean dialect, I'd be habby to know them.... <!-- s:biggrin: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/biggrin.gif" alt=":biggrin:" title="Big Grin" /><!-- s:biggrin: -->
