Topic: Garshuni


  
  Garshuni Information
Garshuni, also known as Karshuni, is the Arabic language written in the Syriac alphabet.
Garshuni came to be used from about the seventh century AD, when Arabic started to become the dominant spoken language in the Fertile Crescent, but Arabic script was not yet fully developed and widely read.
After this initial period, Garshuni writing has continued to the present day among some Syriac Christian communities in the Arabic-speaking regions of the Levant and Mesopotamia.
