The Dictionary of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac by Arthur John Maclean is a seminal work dedicated to the comprehensive study and documentation of the various dialects of Vernacular Syriac. Syriac, a dialect of Middle Aramaic, holds an important place in the linguistic, religious, and cultural history of the Middle East. Over centuries, it evolved into numerous local vernaculars spoken by different Christian communities.

Arthur John Maclean, a distinguished scholar and linguist, devoted his efforts to cataloging the nuances and variations across these dialects. His dictionary captures not only the vocabulary but also phonetic, morphological, and syntactical features that distinguish the regional forms of Syriac speech.

This work serves as an indispensable resource for linguists, historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the study of Semitic languages, early Christian literature, and the cultural heritage of Syriac-speaking communities. It bridges the gap between classical Syriac texts and the living, spoken varieties, preserving linguistic diversity that might otherwise be lost.

Maclean’s dictionary contributes significantly to our understanding of how language evolves in different social and geographical contexts, and highlights the richness of Syriac as a living tradition well beyond its classical literary form.
