What are the Z-sec saying?

[ChocolateFitz]

I've always wondered, since the Z-secs in DOOM 3 speak Aramaic, would anyone be able to figure out what their callouts are, and perhaps if they are accurate to the language?

Says who? I thought they talk gibberish and mostly unarticulated moans and groans.

I need to do my little research again, but apparently, the Zombie Sec. in DOOM 3 communicate in the aramaic language, which would be fitting since I guess the demons would be mocking jewish heritage. I wonder if someone else can confirm this as well?

I am mostly asking this as I was always really interested to know if the Z-Secs are saying anything, communicating with each other while taunting the player, or just speaking garbled gibberish.

I can't verify whether the zombie dialogue is in any human language, but one of the PDA emails does say something about a recently-turned coworker muttering in Aramaic, a language he probably shouldn't have known.

they speak gibberish, Aramaic is mentioned because it was talked about a lot in media during D3 production as it was being used in "Passion of the Christ" by Mel Gibson, which was also in production at the same time.
