Introduction - How to Write the Aramaic Letters

Launch Interactive Lesson

Before you watch the video lessons for each of the letters of the Aramaic Alphabet in turn, we recommend that you watch this introductory video lesson. It provides a general introduction showing you how to write the Aramaic letters, but also compares writing them to English and explains what the differences are.

The key points about writing Aramaic are as follows:

• Aramaic (like English) is written from top to bottom.
• You start at the right, and work towards the left.
• You write in a circular motion, going clockwise.
