Ancient Language
Old Syriac
Companion: Hunayn
"Hunayn ibn Ishaq al-Ibadi translated Aristotle, Galen, and Euclid from Greek into Syriac and Arabic at the House of Wisdom in 9th-century Baghdad. Without him, the ancient world's knowledge dies. He is the transmission archive."
The Chain
Old Syriac sits in a language chain — learners arrive from Classical Syriac and can continue into Aramaic.
