• However, once you have learned the Ashuri and Estrangela scripts, the next most important one is Serta. Learning Serta is optional - you don’t have to learn it if you don’t want to - but it will enhance your overall understanding of the Aramaic Alphabet and how it changed over time, and it will open up access to many other resources that are only available in Serta script.
• The Serta script was developed historically many centuries A.D., around the 8th century according to Wikipedia, and was a development from the Estrangela script. This is why it is important not to study Serta in isolation, but instead to study it as a development from Estrangela. This will not only provide you with a better understanding of both the Estrangela and Serta scripts, but will mean that you can read and understand both scripts confidently.
