Preserving Modern Assyrian Language through Digitization and AI
This project modernizes the digital use of the Assyrian language by translating common phrases, establishing linguistic standards, researching appropriate terms, and creating digital tools and fonts. It aims to preserve and promote the language, ensuring its accessibility and relevance for future generations.
A key outcome is our work with Unicode CLDR, enabling Assyrian/Syriac to be selected as a language in iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. This supports the translation of dates, times, regions, and other terms into Assyrian. We are actively expanding coverage to drive broader adoption across applications.

These images show a glimpse of our team working on translating Assyrian phrases into digital formats, a vital step in preserving our linguistic heritage. By standardizing phrases and creating modern tools, we’re ensuring that the Assyrian language not only thrives in today’s world but also remains accessible for generations to come.
This work is part of a larger mission to bridge the gap between tradition and technology, bringing the Assyrian language into everyday digital use across platforms and devices.
