There were many dialects of Aramaic. Judeans would have spoken one influened by Babylonian or Chaldaic Aramaic. Gallileans would have spoken one influened by Assyrian Aramaic.
Most of Jesus's followers were said to Galliean and some (maybe Matti) was thought to be Judean. So we see both dialects used in the NT and both even in Marq.
IIRC Jesus, being in Judea, is recorded speaking in the Judean dialect but marq then also translates this back into the gallilean, as well. Though I might have this back to front.
As the words are all quite similar some thought he cried for Elijah
