Syriac

Syriac is an ancient language that belongs to the Aramaic family, historically spoken by Christian communities in the Middle East. It has a rich literary tradition, including religious texts, liturgy, and classical writings dating back over 1,500 years. Written in the Syriac script, it played a key role in the spread of Christianity in the region. Today, Syriac is preserved by small communities and scholars, serving as a cultural and religious link to early Christian history and Middle Eastern heritage.
