Abstract
Christian Palestinian Aramaic (CPA) is one of the modern scholarly names given to the form of Palestinian Aramaic (PA) employed by the Christian Melkite community in Palestine from around the 5 th to the 13 th centuries. It is mainly preserved in short inscriptions, palimpsests and later liturgical manuscripts. The dialect shares many linguistic features with Jewish Palestinian Aramaic and Samaritan Aramaic.
