Forest Nenets.  That way if an Obama regime decides to press charges against free speech against Obamunism, they have to legally find an interpreter which won't happen since there are 8 people who speak it.

Yes, Arabic and Hebrew both stem from Aramaic. I don't know if it would be as similar as Italian to Spanish.. maybe more like Italian to French.

Hebrew preceded Aramaic. Adam used Hebrew to name the animals.

I thought the Torah and Talmud were written in Aramaic?

I think you have to differ between the language and the font at least in the case of the Torah.

Old Hebrew was written in the old-Hebrew font. Look here:

Todays Hebrew is a font that developed from the Aramaic.

I hope this is correct.

Talmud was written later so it could be written in Aramaic.
