9. What ?

If I am deciphering your cryptic English properly, you are saying that "All 3 biblical languages have been dead for 1500 years".
What languages are you talking about ?
"Aramaic remains a spoken, literary, and liturgical language for local Christians and also some Jews. Aramaic also continues to be spoken by the Assyrians of Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey and northwest Iran, with diaspora communities in Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and southern Russia."

And Hebrew and Greek are still spoken!
Latin might be virtually dead, but no part of the original bible was written in Latin!

When the R.C. Church was debating (at the second Vatican Council) the issue of allowing the faithful to worship in their own languages, as opposed to the traditional Latin, one conservative bishop reportedly objected on the basis that "If Latin was good enough for Jesus, it ought to be good enough for us Catholics".
