In this episode, Dr. George Kiraz joins us to trace the journey of the Syriac language from ancient monastic scribes to modern digital code.
As a computational linguist and founder of Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute, Dr. Kiraz shares how his family's roots in Bethlehem and Anatolia shaped his life's work keeping an endangered heritage alive.
