Although there are some exceptions to this rule, this classification gives "Modern", "Middle", and "Old" periods, alongside "Eastern" and "Western" areas, to distinguish between the various languages and dialects that are Aramaic.
Walaupun terdapat beberapa pengecualian dalam pembahagian ini, klasifikasi ini memberikan periode "Modern", "Pertengahan", dan "Lama", bersama dengan kawasan "Timur" dan "Barat", untuk membedakan berbagai bahasa dan dialek Aram.
