History/Culture Are There Any Half-Assyrians Who Can Speak Fluently?

14 Upvotes

Hi everybody! I'm an Assyrian from Iran. I know of countless Persian friends and acquaintances who've married foreigners with their children being brought up to speak the Farsi language fluently. As if they were brought up in a home where both parents spoke it with them. The father especially making it an important priority to raise the child to be able to speak the language very well.

On the other hand, I've seen many Assyrians who've married foreigners not raising their children to learn Assyrian at all. Or in this case, the same fervent way as the Iranians have.

I believe it's a huge plus if you can. It makes it easier to integrate with the culture and society when you want to.

History/Culture What's the difference between Assyrian, Aramean, Syriac, Chaldean, Akkadian?

30 Upvotes

I've always thought that all these people (Arameans and Assyrians) were classified as Syriacs and that Chaldean was just a religious title. How wrong is that?

History/Culture Saint Odisho Monastery in Gunduktha, Tkhuma. Modern day Turkey 36°47’56.99″N 43°47’17.46″E and 836 metres altitude. I believe there is a reason most of these places are still uninhabited and mostly untouched.

Correction, this is in modern day Iraq in a place that is now named Gundik, not the original Gunduktha of Tkhuma Hakkari.

Hello, Assyrian brothers. I am a Turkish person who loves Assyrian culture and I have had some chances to meet with good Assyrian Christians. I wish our pasts were different, I wish we didn't have an Islamist government working for the interests of NATO and Israel and I wish we could live in peace. I am also sorry for Turkish expansionism in Syria which serves directly to Western and Jewish interests. I am also sorry for the atrocities done by my ancestors and Kurds in the past. I hope all people can live in peace.

However, I have one question related to Assyrian Christianity. I have witnessed that Assyrian Church and Assyrian Christians are Nestorians and they reject the hypostatic union and as a member of Eastern Orthodox Church, I was advised to avoid Assyrian Churches in general because of Nestorianism. Do you think that this difference can be solved in future and Orthodox churches can be united?

History/Culture Descendants of Hakkarian Assyrians among Kurds in the Region?

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I hope this finds you all well. I would like to direct my question specifically at people familiar with the relations between Assyrians and Kurds in the region of Hakkari during and prior to the 18th century.

Do we know of any cases where Assyrians in the area converted to Islam and assimilated into their Kurdish neighbors? entire tribes or clans even? whether in the historical record or perhaps the stories of elders? I am asking this in hopes of clarifying some things about my genealogy.

Any information shared will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙏❤️
