Yahoo! News - Gibson's Movie to Use Lost Languages

Mel's doing a version of the last hours of the life of Christ using dead languages. As in Latin and Aramaic. Actually, I think Aramaic is still a living language, but it's certainly not at all well. Some idiot was reporting "Arabic", which would have been wrong. And actually, I think Latin is wrong too; I'm pretty sure that the "Romans" occupying Palestine were more likely to speak Greek, but maybe I'm wrong there. Jesus and his disciples certainly used Aramaic as their everyday language, though they probably knew Greek and at least some Hebrew.
