Western Aramaic languages

The Western Aramaic languages represent a specific group of Aramaic languages, once spoken widely throughout the ancient Levant, from ancient Nabatea and Judea, across Palestine and Samaria, further to Palmyrene and Phoenicia, and into the Syria proper. The group was divided into several regional variants, spoken mainly by ancient Arameans and Jews. All of the Western Aramaic languages are today extinct, except Western Neo-Aramaic.
