Dear Andrew Gabriel Roth,
so good to hear that AENT is available. I am writing from Bavaria, Germany and have just finished the gospel of Matthew from Aramaic into German. The AENT will surely help us to speed up the translation of other books of the Peshitta. Perhaps we can join your works and look for a German version of AENT.
I have just come back from a trip to Lebanon and saw that some Aramean, Syrian and Armenian churches there still use Aramaic in their liturgy. One of them is in Rashayah (Rock of YHWH) very close to Mt. Hermon in a lovley surrounding.
Take also a look at the "avatar" I included. It depicts a Nestorian cross found in the Gobi desert about 80 years ago and it has probably been made in the 11th-12th century when some of the Mongolian tribes adopted to the Nestorian teaching. And, by the way, the Mongolian script was adopted from the Uighur script who in turn borrowed it from the Nestorians' holy books and just turned it downward. So they read top to bottom. You can see some of our works in the downward Mongolian script on <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mongolbible.com">http://www.mongolbible.com</a><!-- m --> Enjoy!
