Hey everyone,

I'm looking for some help. I've been doing some research into ancient languages and I'm curious to know what language is Aramaic spoken in right now? Is it still spoken at all?

I've been searching online but haven't been able to find any definitive answer. I'm interested to hear what other people know about this language and if it is still spoken.

If anyone has any information on this, I'd really appreciate it.
