In 2010, it was decided to change the Misplaced Pages from being named the Aramaic Misplaced Pages to the Classical Syriac Misplaced Pages. This change was made in order to encompass a unifying language that all modern speakers Neo-Aramaic dialects could understand and read. Although this change was officially decided on, the Misplaced Pages has yet to change it's ISO 639-2 code from arc to syr.
