Aramaic

Aramaic was an international language that was used for trade in the ancient Middle East. The Aramaic language originated in what is now modern-day Syria, between 1000 and 600 BC. It spread over a great mass of land and became spoken from the Mediterranean coast to the borders of India. Derived from Phoenician, the Aramaic script became extremely popular and was adopted by all kinds of people, from those with a previous writing system to those without.
