Welcome to Studying Syriac. This is the website for an online study group formed in May 2008, with the aim of helping a disparate and scattered group of independent students make progress in their study of the Syriac language.
There is a wide range of useful material on this site, which is available to anyone interested in studying Syriac. But essentially it is a tool for our study group to communicate together, compare the answers to Syriac exercises, and discuss the various aspects of the language as we study together.
An account is required to use the site fully.
If you have problems using the site, or have lost your account details, or would like to find out how you could join our study group, then please contact our Administrators at :-
