Eastern vs. Western dialects of 1st century Aramaic
#6
I think the dialects (plural) that Jesus and the Apostles spoke were many. I also think the composers of the NT chose the one dialect that was most widespread in the world, to reach the widest possible audience.

That's why you see the Aramaic words in the GNT are exactly like "Syriac" (my God, I hate that term). It's a translation of it.
