Talk:Ashuri script

"...it is called Ashuri, is because it is an "Enriched" (from the word Osher) text" This is incorrect. The author is confusing the world 'osher (with a 'ayin) with the word osher (with an aleph). Hence, the sentence should read:

"...it is called Ashuri, is because it is "fortunate" (from the world Osher) text" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhayat (talk • contribs) 00:03, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Merging with ktav stam
I don't think this article should be merged, because Ashuri alphabet stands as a unique historical phenomenon from the time of the Mishna. Articles discussing the history of middle-eastern scripts link specifically to this article.Jimhoward72 (talk) 08:06, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Aramaic script
So this script descends from the Aramaic script correct? And most scholars believe all the scripts of the Levant go back to the Proto-Sinaitic script.Historylover4 (talk) 06:51, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, basically "Ashuri" is the original Jewish term to refer to the Aramaic (Imperial Aramaic) letters which became the Hebrew letters used today. These letters were "Ashuri" ("Assyrian") - in other words, borrowed from Imperial Aramaic - apparently to distinguish them from the original paleo-Hebrew alphabet which the letters replaced.Jimhoward72 (talk) 22:29, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
