Syriac character notes

The languages listed here have many dialectal variations in pronunciation. The phonetic information on this page for Syriac is fairly generalised. On the other hand, the pronunciation given for Assyrian Neo-Aramaic and Turoyo reflects specific dialects, chosen because there is reasonably good documentation. The Assyrian is based on a course in reading Assyrian by Dr. Madeleine Davis Moradkhan, who based her approach on the "Assyrian Reader for Adult Beginners" by Haido & Yousif. The notes also contain information about correspondences in the Urmian dialect. The Turoyo dialect used here is that described by the Aramaic Online Project (2014-2017) edited by Shabo Talay, and the accompanying course ܫܠܳܡܐ ܣܘܪܰܝܬ Šlomo Surayt An Introductory Course to Surayt-Aramaic (Turoyo).
