Our sister site AllThingsAramaic.Com is dedicated to learning Aramaic. Aramaic is very closely related to Hebrew, and is used in Biblical Aramaic, the Targumim (the Aramaic translations of the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible), the Talmud, the Zohar, as well as some Jewish prayers. There is also the Aramaic Old Testament or Peshitta Tanakh (a translation of the entire Tanakh) and the Aramaic New Testament or Peshitta.
