What is Aramaic?
Aramaic (also known as Surayt / Turoyo) is a living Neo-Aramaic language, spoken natively in the Ṭur ʿAbdin region of southeastern Turkey and by diaspora communities across Europe, North America, and Australia.
It is written in the Serto Syriac script, one of the oldest continuously used writing systems in the world, and belongs to the same family of languages as the Aramaic of the ancient Near East.
Despite its small speaker community, Aramaic is a fully living language, spoken at home, in churches, and preserved by a rich cultural heritage. Learning it is a way to connect with that history.
