Syrian is the Arabic dialect spoken in Syria and in related parts of the Near East.
Syriac and Assyrian are not Arabic dialects. Hence, they are not the same language as Syrian. They are, rather, alternative names for the Aramaic language, which is still spoken by small communities in various parts of the Near East, the Caucasus, and the Russian Federation, and which is most famous for being the native language of the Jews in the time of the Roman occupation.
