Jewish Babylonian Aramaic (ca. 200-1200 CE) · 32.3°N 44.2°E

Jewish Babylonian Aramaic (Aramaic: אַרָמִית, ʾarāmîṯ) or Talmudic Aramaic was the form of Middle Aramaic employed by writers in Lower Mesopotamia between the fourth and eleventh centuries. It is most commonly identified with the language of the Babylonian Talmud (which was completed in the fifth century), the Targum Onqelos, and of post-Talmudic (Gaonic) literature, which are the most important cultural products of Babylonian Jews. The most important epigraphic sources for the dialect are the hundreds of inscriptions on incantation bowls.
