They used Estrangelo for the first few centuries, so it looks like Syriac....but it's a very, very different language. For instance, in their gospel translation from the Greek, they always use "Yesus" and "Christos"....in the Estrangelo script, of all things. I was shocked at first reading....I have the gospels in this "Palestinian Christian Aramaic" translation as it's sometimes called.
Very weird.
