'Valuable resource': The launch of the new English-Syriac dictionary

Barutha is the newest English-Syriac dictionary crafted by the late Eshoo Zaia Barutha and took three decades of effort and dedication. Following his passing, a dedicated committee comprising numerous Assyrian linguists, an IT specialist, and his family carried on his legacy to materialise the project. The Barutha dictionary, launched on 17 April 2024, emerges as a valuable resource for Assyrian schools, translators, interpreters, and enthusiasts of the Assyrian language.
