Syriac Conversational Phrases
#3
shlomo Chuck,

The document is written in Classical Eastern Aramaic.

From Eastern Aramaic you have: Syriac (Western) and Syriac (Eastern) -- They are written grammatically the same and have the same vocabulary, except for minor pronunciation differences and some added local vocabulary.

Syriac (Western) uses the long "O"; suryoyo
Syriac (Eastern) uses the long "A"; suryaya

The pronunciation in the document is according to the Syriac Maronite usage, and is in the Classical Eastern Aramaic - Syriac (Western). The Syriac Maronites only use the classical, for both Church and day-to-day.

The Assyrian/Chaldean use Classical Eastern Aramaic - Syriac (Eastern) in Church; and they use swadhaya (Modern Eastern Syriac(Aramaic)) as their day-to-day language
The Syriac Orthodox/Catholic use Classical Eastern Aramaic - Syriac (Western) in Church; and they use turoyo (Modern Western Syriac(Aramaic)) as their day-to-day language
