Syriac is the Aramaic dialect of Edessa, an important center of
early Christianity in Mesopotamia. Today it is the classical tongue
of the Nestorians and Chaldeans of Iran and Iraq and the liturgical
language of the Jacobites of Easte Anatolia and the Maronites of
Greater Syria. Syriac literature flourished from the third century
on and boasts of writers like Ephraem Syrus, Aphraates, Jacob of
Sarug, John of Ephesus, Jacob of Edessa, and Barhebraeus. In this
text the language is presented both in Syriac script, as it will
always be seen, and in transcription, which is given so that the
pronunciation of individual words and the structure of the language
as a whole may be represented as clearly as possible. The majority
of the sentences in the exercises-and all of the readings in the
later lessons-are taken directly from the Peshitta, the standard
Syriac translation of the Bible. For many of those whose interest
in Syriac stems from Biblical studies or from the history of
easte Christianity, Syriac may be their first Semitic language.
Every effort has been made in the presentation of the grammar to
keep the Semitic structure of the language in the forefront and as
clear as possible for those who have no previous experience with
languages of that family.
Wheeler M. Thackston is Professor of Persian and other Near East
Languages at Harvard University, where he has taught Persian and
Arabic for over twenty years.
