Language of biblical times (7)

I believe the answer is:

aramaic

(Other definitions for aramaic that I've seen before include "tongue" , "Biblical speech" , "Old Middle-Eastern language" , "Near Eastern language" , "Language believed to have been spoken by Jesus" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and the Sydney Morning Herald.
