"THE TRAJECTORY OF ARAMAIC FROM ANCIENT PALESTINE TO THE ROMAN WORLD: THE DECLINE OF A LANGUAGE AMID LATIN CULTURAL HEGEMONY"
Eray Günay’s 2025 undergraduate thesis at Akdeniz University examines Aramaic’s historical trajectory from a lingua franca in Ancient Palestine to its decline under Roman Latin hegemony. Using a historical-linguistic approach, it analyzes Aramaic’s role in Jewish society, early Christianity, and Jesus’ teachings, drawing on classical and sacred texts. The study also addresses modern preservation efforts for Neo-Aramaic dialects, emphasizing the language’s cultural and identity significance.
