will you ever make a video comparing arabic and syriac? to me they look more similar to each other than nabataean does to arabic

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.

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."

Awesome! Thank you. I have learned Hebrew and Araimac. Now I feel a new door is open in surprise!

Similar way you could write ancient armaic ( paleo), your knowledge of Semitic languages wonderful

Interesting video. But the uncivilized noise in the background makes looking at that video a pain.

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

would be nice to also put arabic next to it, it's all so similar.
