I found out that Visual Studio allows multilingual identifiers.
I quickly took advantage of this to translate many of the C and C++ keywords for Syriac
There's many keywords yet to be translated but I translated a good amount as much as I possibly can.
some translations are calques, direct translations, or actually good translations.
hopefully Carlo and you guys can review these to tell me what you guys think.
this should help in preserving our language just a bit!

Code:
/*
Syriac/Assyrian C & C++ translated keywords by Sahda Yonan
This is for all the Assyrian/Syriac IT and software specialists.
Hopefully, you guys will add to this list and nekhsha alokhon!
Please keep your language alive and keep it alive by learning your alphabet
Our language didn't survive to modern times only for it to die...

// These are subject to change...
#define ????? dynamic_cast // "shunaya" - transitioning
#define ????? static_cast // "shanayta" - transference
#define ??_????? reinterpret_cast // "kul shanayta" - total transference - reinterpret_cast typecasts between types unrestrictedly, so kulleh :)
