The Aramaic alphabet is ancestral to what alphabet known variously by scholars as the Jewish script?
Aramaic language Aramaic (אַרָמָיָא "Arāmāyā", Syriac: ܐܪܡܝܐ‎ , Arabic: آرامية‎ ‎ ) is a language or group of languages belonging to the Semitic subfamily of the Afroasiatic language family. More specifically, it is part of the Northwest Semitic group, which also includes the Canaanite languages such as Hebrew and Phoenician. The Aramaic alphabet was widely adopted for other languages and is ancestral to the Hebrew, Syriac and Arabic alphabets.
Judeo-Persian Judeo-Persian, or Jidi ( ; also spelled "Dzhidi" or "Djudi"), refers to both a group of Jewish dialects spoken by the Jews living in Iran and Judeo-Persian texts (written in Hebrew alphabet). As a collective term, Dzhidi refers to a number of Judeo-Iranian languages spoken by Jewish communities throughout the formerly extensive Persian Empire. On a more limited scale, Dzhidi refers to the Judeo-Persian dialect spoken by the Jewish communities of the area around Tehran and Mashhad.
