That makes me curious. I spent a lot of time in Asia when I was younger, and learned some Japanese and Chinese.

As pictographical languages, the meanings of "words" are both complex, multifaceted and very poetic, making direct translation near impossible.

Is Greek the same way? And was the "original" Bible written in Aramaic? I'm curious about stuff like this, and its neat to find people who know about it.
