Recently, a friend forwarded this article on efforts to save Aramaic. Now I see that NPR has done a story too (mentioned on this HTLAL thread). However, if you want to learn a little Aramaic yourself, it’s not too late. There’s a blog which teach snippets in short posts. Just keep going through the archives and you’ll find everything from how to make short sentences to key Biblical quotes: LearnAramaic.blogspot.com.

Confessions of a language addict's Blog 
The whole subject of Aramaic is an interesting one. I remember reading an article 2 or 3 years ago about how it was only spoken in some remote parts of Syria. That got me reading about Assyrians, a subject and a people we just don’t learn about in school for some reason. A tragic story in many ways, and likely to get much worse with current events in Syria. I think it’s fantastic that people are trying to save this ancient language and I wish them every success.
