Aramaic does not precede Hebrew, the two are cousins in the Central Semitic language group, originally spoken in different areas — Hebrew and Arabic in the South, Aramaic in the North. Aramaic later became the lingua franca of the Semitic spheres of the Assyrian, Babylonian and Persian empires, only partially supplanted by Greek after Alexander conquered the area.
