Tawdi Rabi! As an Aramaic native speaker, I have always wondered about the connection with Hebrew aleb bet, you made it so much easier to cross refrence! Thank you so much!
I've been using the bloody expensive _New Syriac Primer_ to learn to read, and it sure is a nice presentation. Lucky for me it's borrowable in the Archive, although I'd love to have it physically. You switched between _Estrangelo_ and _Serto_ at times, if I saw true.
@@ProfessorMichaelWingert mightn't a note suffice? The _Estrangelo_ sign is right there after all. Pardon the earlier frankness, I might have just woken up and written it half asleep.
My understanding is that Hebrew had a different font pre-Babylonian captivity. Did Babylonian Aramaic use the Kitav Ashuri font, during the time of Jewish captivity, which then became the Hebrew font?
@@tj0405 Before the Babylonian captivity, Hebrew was written in the same alphabet as Phoenician. Old Aramaic, Moabite, Ammonite and Edomite were written in that same font. In the end of the Assyrian empire, they developed a more streamlined font of the same alphabet. From the Babylonian Exile on, Hebrew was generally written a font with square letters that resembled the later Assyrian writing. So to this day, the square Hebrew alphabet is called "Assyrian Script."
Thanks for putting this on explaining I am trying to learn Hebrew and worked out paleo Hebrew trying to learn to read Dead Sea scrolls and earlier I learnt some of the earlier scrolls are in syriac it’s all very cool I am from australia thanks

The Tau at the end is Serto and Swadaya instead of Estrangelo. One day I'll re-upload all this stuff.

Hawit raba basima l-kul khabrane didoukh khoni!
That’s cool. I like the side by side writing. That makes it pretty easy to see how similar they are to each other.
I think so too! Reading Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic isn't so different than Syriac once you get the hang of the cursive.
Awesome! Thank you. I have learned Hebrew and Araimac. Now I feel a new door is open in surprise!
Lots more to learn! Happy New Year!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND I WANT TO LEARN MORE FROM YOU ABOUT ASHURI ARAMAIC AND HEBREW SIMILARITIES
Stay tuned!
@@ProfessorMichaelWingertYES SIR
Similar way you could write ancient armaic ( paleo), your knowledge of Semitic languages wonderful
Very helpful! I know a little Hebrew and I’m definitely interested in learning Syriac ❤❤❤
Syriac is amazing. You'll love it.
will you ever make a video comparing arabic and syriac? to me they look more similar to each other than nabataean does to arabic
Could you do a video on connecting letters, writing full words in the cursive style/syriac?
why is canaanite always labeled a semitic language instead of hamic language?
Because it is vividly Semitic.
💙🤍
We dont aramaic bible pls share link
would be nice to also put arabic next to it, it's all so similar.
Not the script ,only the sounds and names of Alap Beth
Ctav ASHURI ❤️we Assyrian should have been using this Alap Beth
It looks like we left everything and adapted what was used by in Christianity only
Interesting video. But the uncivilized noise in the background makes looking at that video a pain.
Syriac more similar Arabic
The chanting of HAW D NOHRANEH is too hight compared to your voice sir ‼️
Very hard to focus on what you’re saying with that annoying singing in the background.
Keep working at it!
