Syriac (ܠܫܢܐ ܣܘܪܝܝܐ leššānā Suryāyā) is a dialect of Middle Aramaic that was once spoken across much of the Fertile Crescent.
Having first appeared as a script in the 1st century AD after being spoken as an unwritten language for five centuries, Classical
Syriac became a major literary language throughout the Middle East from the 4th to the 8th centuries, the classical language
of Edessa, preserved in a large body of Syriac literature. It became the vehicle of Syriac Christianity and culture, spreading
throughout Asia as far as the Indian Malabar Coast and Eastern China, and was the medium of communication and cultural dissemination
for Arabs and, to a lesser extent, Persians. Primarily a Christian medium of expression, Syriac had a fundamental cultural
and literary influence on the development of Arabic, which largely replaced it towards the 14th century. Syriac remains the
liturgical language of Syriac Christianity. Syriac is a Middle Aramaic language, and, as such, it is a language of the Northwestern
branch of the Semitic family. It is written in the Syriac alphabet, a derivation of the Aramaic alphabet. |
