Assyrian Scripts

 

Assyrian is a cursive script where some, but not all, letters connect within a word.

Letters are written and read from right to left.

Each letter should be written at the top, right-hand, of the line.

 

All letters are affixed to the preceding and succeeding letter,
except the letters in red ܐ  ܕ  ܗ  ܘ  ܙ  ܒܟ ܡ   ـܢ ܨ  ܬ

These are only affixed to the preceding letter

 

 

The letters in red ܓ  ܙ  ܛ  ـ‍ܟ  ܟ  ܡ  ܢ  ـ‍ܢ  ܨ
are written above and below the line.

 

 

These letters are only written at the end of the word.
