What language do people speak in Ctesiphon?

Ctesiphon, the ancient city in Mesopotamia, is now a modern-day archaeological site in Iraq.

Therefore, there is no single language spoken there today.

However, throughout its history, Ctesiphon was a center of various cultures and languages, including:

* Aramaic: This language was widely spoken in Mesopotamia during the Parthian and Sassanid periods when Ctesiphon was a thriving city.

* Persian: As part of the Persian Empire, Persian (or Farsi) would have been an important language in the city.

* Greek: Ctesiphon was influenced by the Greek world, and Greek would have been spoken by some residents, particularly during trade or interactions with the Roman Empire.

* Arabic: Following the Arab conquests of the 7th century AD, Arabic became the dominant language in the region.

It is important to note that this is a simplified overview. The language landscape in Ctesiphon was likely more complex, with various dialects and languages used by different communities.
