The Syriac Latin alphabet is the version of the Latin script that is used to write classical Syriac, Assyrian and other modern Aramaic languages. The romanization of Syriac was developed in the 1930s, following the state policy for minority languages of the Soviet Union, with some material published. The usage of the Latin script in the Assyrian community has become rather widespread due to the Assyrian diaspora's settlement mostly being in Europe and the anglophone. Today, the Latin alphabet is preferred by most Assyrians for practical reasons and its convenience, especially in social media.
