Why is Syriac/Aramaic important? Aramaic has a 3,000-year history – it was the lingua franca of the ancient Middle East, the language of Jesus Christ, and the language of important religious texts. Modern Syriac (Neo-Aramaic) is still spoken by Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac Christian communities worldwide. The Syriac script is the ancestor of many Asian scripts!

The Syriac alphabet is an abjad (consonant alphabet) with 22 letters, written right-to-left. It includes three script styles: Estrangela (classical), Serto (Western), and Madnhaya (Eastern). Our keyboard supports vowel marks (ܰ, ܳ, ܶ, ܺ, ܽ, ܿ) and diacritical points for accurate vocalization.
