@Infrapink@mastodon.ie @toddheberlein@mastodon.social @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io There's evidence for this in the Bible, no less: the famous piece of transliterated Aramaic in the Passion of the Christ is: "Alahi, lama sabachthani?"
The grammar of "Alahi" (my God) would be familiar to an Arabic speaker today.

@Two9A@hachyderm.io @Infrapink@mastodon.ie @toddheberlein@mastodon.social @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io Please correct me if I’m wrong: “Al Qaeda” means The Order. “Taliban” means “Thirsty ( for knowledge )”. “Jihad” means “Spiritual War”.
