Peshitta
What Is The Syriac Peshitta New Testament The name Peshitta is derived from the Syriac ܡܦܩܬܐ ܦܫܝܛܬܐ (mappaqtâ pšîṭtâ), literally meaning ‘simple version,’ ‘common’ (that is, for all people), or ‘straight.’ Syriac is a dialect of Eastern Aramaic. It is written in the Syriac alphabet, and is transliterated into the Roman alphabet in a number of ways: Peshitta, Peshittâ, Pshitta, Pšittâ, Pshitto, Fshitto. All of these are acceptable, but ‘Peshitta’ is the accepted spelling in modern English. Peshitta Resources: Peshitta Aramaic New Testament Peshitta Forum
