==The "Aramaic" Church==
==The "Aramaic" Church==
[[File:Syriac_characters.gif|thumb|Syriac alphabet, the modern form of Aramaic]]
The [[Church of the East]], sometimes known as the [[Nestorian]] Church or sometimes as the [[Assyria]]n Church uses the Aramaic Language in their liturgy <ref>[http://www.cired.org/]</ref>. This is true also of the Church of the East in [[India]], also known as the Syro-Chaldean Church, though its people speak an Indian dialect and not Aramaic. The Aramaic translation of the Bible for this Church is the Peshitta, the earliest of the translations for both the Old and New Testament after the [[Greece|Greek]] [[Septuagint]] of the Hebrew original for the Old and after the Greek original for the New. Jesus spoke Aramaic as well as Mishnaic (1st century common) Hebrew and some of his utterances in the Greek New Testament are transliterations of the Aramaic. Examples of these are Talitha Kum(i)-"Get up ,Young girl!", Eloi, Eloi, lama Shvaktani- My God, My God, why have you left Me." In the book of Revelation of the New Testament, the word "Maranatha" appears, as it does in the liturgies of the early church. Maranatha means either (according to its accent), "The Lord has come" or "O Lord, come!"

Church of the East members from the "Assyrian" group still speaking Aramaic, are dispersed to several countries since their World War l persecution and flight from Turkey - along with the Armenians. They are settled today in various countries and in the United States are found in numbers in Flint Michigan, Modesto California, and Yonkers New York.
