ܙܵܘܥܹ̈ܐ ܒܩܵܠܵܐ (ܕܘܼܪܵܫܵܐ)

All of Assyrian 22 letters are consonants. The vowel sounds are supplied either by the reader's memory or by optional diacritic marks.

A diacritical mark is a symbol that tells a reader how to pronounce a letter. Part of learning to speak and write the Assyrian language is becoming familiar with its diacritical marks.
