[PAR] [TLE] Aramaic language [SEP] 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. [PAR] [TLE] Hebrew alphabet [SEP] The Hebrew alphabet (Hebrew: אָלֶף־בֵּית עִבְרִי‎ , "Alefbet Ivri "), known variously by scholars as the Jewish script, square script and block script, is an abjad script used in the writing of the Hebrew language, also adapted as an alphabet script in the writing of other Jewish languages, most notably in Yiddish (lit.  "Jewish" for Judeo-German), Djudío (lit.  "Jewish" for Judeo-Spanish), and Judeo-Arabic.  Historically, there have been two separate abjad scripts to write Hebrew.  The original, old Hebrew script, is known as the paleo-Hebrew alphabet (which has been largely preserved, in an altered form, in the Samaritan alphabet), while the present "Jewish script" or "square script" to write Hebrew is a stylized form of the Aramaic alphabet and was known by Jewish sages as the Ashuri alphabet (lit.  "Assyrian"), since its origins were alleged to be from Assyria.  Various "styles" (in current terms, "fonts") of representation of the Jewish script letters described in this article also exist, as well as a cursive form which has also varied over time and place, and today is referred to as cursive Hebrew.  In the remainder of this article, the term "Hebrew alphabet" refers to the Jewish square script unless otherwise indicated.
