In the 1930s, a [[Latin alphabet]] was developed and some material published.<ref>[https://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/romanization/syriac.pdf Syriac Romanization Table]</ref>{{sfn|Brock|1989|p=11–23}} The Latin alphabet is preferred by most Assyrians for practical reasons and its convenience, especially in [[social media]], where it is used to communicate. Although the Syriac Latin alphabet contains [[diacritic]]s, most Assyrians rarely utilise the modified letters and would conveniently rely on the [[ISO basic Latin alphabet|basic Latin alphabet]]. The Latin alphabet is also a useful tool to present Assyrian terminology to anyone who is not familiar with the Syriac script. A precise [[Transcription (linguistics)|transcription]] may not be necessary for native Suret speakers, as they would be able to pronounce words correctly, but it can be very helpful for those not quite familiar with Syriac and more informed with the Latin script.<ref>{{cite journal |title = Studies in Modern Syriac |journal = [[Journal of Semitic Studies]] |volume = 6 |number = 1 |last = Polotsky |first = Hans Jakob |author-link = Hans Jakob Polotsky |year = 1961 |pages=1–32|doi = 10.1093/jss/6.1.1 }}</ref>
