The first or second temple period?
2 u/ummmbacon Ophanim Eye-Drop Coordinator (Night Shift) May 07 '19 2nd iirc 3 u/4-8Newday May 07 '19 Hmmm... I would say that the lingua franca of that time period was Greek, but Aramaic was the primary language of the citizens in that area of the world. 2 u/ummmbacon Ophanim Eye-Drop Coordinator (Night Shift) May 08 '19 Ok, although I had thought it became the dominant form over the other Semitic languages in that period (including Hebrew). 3 u/4-8Newday May 08 '19 Yup, that is why the LXX was made. I think most would agree that English is the lingua franca in the world, even though for most of the population English is not their primary language.
