yeah? so? the language is still used by Copts, Chaldeans and Maronites---but in reality in various forms. The aramaic used (still used) by jews is a kind
of Hebraized form----just as Yiddish is an hebraized form of German. Iranian jews have told me that there is an HEBRAIZED form of Farsi----AND there is even an Hebraized form of arabic. Try to cope
What do you like to say? All Jews had been by the way since the early third - or ¿fourth? - century Romans. And
indeed spoke the Jews standard German in Germany - and Yiddish (More a kind of German dialect with lots of Slawic words) outside of Germany in the 19th and 20th century. Jews in generell had been Germans like all others before Hitler came. The German culture and the Jewish culture had a tight connection over long hundreds of years. And this even in the Sephardic world because "Andalusia" in Spain for example means "Vandalusia" = "Land of the Vandals". The Vandals had been a Germanic tribe and Andalusia was very tolerant in all forms of religion - what was typical for the Vandals who had been anything else than "Vandals". Even when they conquered Rome someone had only to flee into a temple or a church and was safe. Vandals never attacked houses of god from whatever religion.
