AI overview
I don't have sufficient context to write an accurate 2-sentence overview of Aramaic. The only information provided is a reference to the Syriac alphabet, which is related to Aramaic but doesn't contain enough detail about what Aramaic is, its historical significance, or why it matters to general readers. To provide accurate information, I would need additional context about Aramaic itself.
