ViestiHere is a video clip about Syria, with some reference to ancient Christian ruins.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/audioslideshow/2010/jan/08/middleeast-syria-aleppo-souks-aramaic
From the point 1:56 before the end of the clip there is a most interesting report on the survival of Aramaic in one village. Apparently there were objections because the script they were using too much resembled Hebrew... Now I seem to remember a long rather dispute here about just that. There is also a short recitation of a prayer in Aramaic.
Kind regards
Raymond Mercier
