They speak Arabic, as Aramaic is a dead language, it is no longer in use. Here's a little more info on Arab Christians:

Answer 2

no one speaks Aramaic except Mel Gibson in the modern world. many of the Arab Christians are from Bedouin Arabian tribes and of course they speak Arabic.

Answer 3

Of course. No one speaks Aramaic as a primary language. It's like Latin and Yiddish, in that way.

Answer 4

They're completely the same in culture and language except for the religion. Some retain older traditions that predate Islam or Christianity though. It's all the same.
