what is the mother tongue of jesus christ?

Answer 1

Aramaic probably.

Answer 2

Mother Tongue Of Jesus Christ

Answer 3

Jesus was apparently to some degree TRI-lingual, speaking (Galileean) Aramaic, Hebrew and some Greek.

But as for his "mother tongue" or everyday language the simple answer is "Aramaic"

BUT since there were many dialects of Aramaic across a wide region over many centuries, that's hardly precise.

More specifically, the best evidence is that Jesus spoke "Galileean Aramaic," one of about seven dialects in the Syro-Palestinian region at that time (all of whose speakers could understand each other).

There is reason to believe many Jews of this period also spoke some Hebrew -- and we do at least find Jesus READING it when he reads from Scripture (from the book of Isaiah, told of in Luke 4).

Finally, esp as a Galileean, living in border country, he likely spoke some Greek (and a number of his disciples later WROTE in it, since much of the NT appears to have been in Greek in its ORIGINAL form, even if some was translated from Aramaic). Greek was THE international language of the time (as Aramaic had been before it), at least in the EASTERN parts of the Roman Empire. Note that this was "Hellenistic Greek", which is much later and significantly different from Attic Greek in which Plato, et.al, wrote.

Except for the odd use of Latin in places where GREEK was likely used (though for Catholic listeners it provided some familiar traditional language), the film made a great effort to reflect a believable use of languages and what we know of the time.

The Aramaic used was a translation based on "Palestinian Aramaic" texts as close as we can find to Jesus' own dialect. The pronunciation the actors were taught was based on that of people in the area who still speak a descendant of these dialects (different, for sure, but this way they sound like a real language... and we don't have anyone who can provide us 'the original accent'!)

Hebrew was used (if my ears did not deceive me) ONLY when Jesus was praying in the Garden -- because the decision was made (since we lack the full text of his actual prayers there) to have him pray from the PSALMS, which is a very sensible choice and which he might well have done in Hebrew.

Answer 4

Jesus spoke Aramaic, the common language of Galilee during his lifetime.

Fun fact: Though Jews had once spoken Hebrew as their primary language, this changed when Israel was overthrown, first by the Assyrians in the eight-century B.C. and then by the Babylonians in the sixth-century B.C. By the time of Jesus Aramaic was so common among Jews that the reading of the Hebrew Scripture in the synagogue was accompanied by translation into Aramaic.

Answer 5

Hebrew

Answer 6

In the event you believe Jesus was merely a man....it would be Aramaic. (only known tongue at the time in that part of the world)......if you believe he was God, or demi-God, then you must say him mother tongue is supernatural.
