A chronological history of the Semitic languages

The oldest one is Akkadian.

A massive congratulations to artist Yuhana Ali Nashmi and to ‪Australia‬'s ‎Mandaean‬ community, for giving a superb public launch to the exhibition Mandaic Calligraphy and Painting: Inner Light Through an Ancient Alphabet.

Mandaic calligraphy is a unique style of art inspired by the ancient alphabet and comes from an eastern dialect of ‪Aramaic‬, the language of Jesus Christ, which is still found spoken in Churches across ‪Iraq‬.

Hosted by Liverpool City Library in Australia, this remarkable ‪‎Australian‬ city boasts the highest number Mandaeans living outside of Iraq.

I shall cause .........., (7) the heavens and the earth and your .......... to (speak) wrathfully against you, and their kings will thrust you away, denounce you and expel you from this house (8) and residence and mansion of [Ab]rahiman son of Mišoya and Bašniray daughter of Šahafrid and from their sons and from their daughters] and from (9) .......... and from their issue(?).
