I’ve read the dialect that was most likely spoken by Jesus Christ was most likely Galilean Aramaic which is near impossible to reconstruct. Does anyone know the closest Aramaic dialect and maybe where to find some vocabulary. I’d like to translate a phrase for a tattoo and I don’t mind taking the time to learn the basics of the language so that I am able to read what I put on my body.

I wanted to translate “(name) son of (name) and (name)”. All help is appreciated thanks.

i’m a 22F and plan to move out before any type of engagement/marriage. i’m in a traditional household + surrounding community, but i personally don’t follow traditions much.

i’ve pretty much only heard of assyrians (especially women) only moving out for marriage. i have a bf (italian) but i definitely wanna marry when i’m older. is there any hope for me to move out soon lol ?

My brother is getting married in the summer and I really want a nice yaliktah to match my outfit. Are you guys aware of any online stores or Assyrians on FB or other socials that make them?

And no, I don’t have the talent to make it myself 😂

Hey everyone!

I’m an Assyrian-American student doing a year abroad and potentially a masters degree abroad, so I’m in a Western European country for at least another year (and possibly 2-3). I’ve tried getting connected to some Assyrians abroad but it’s been more difficult than I expected. There is almost no Assyrian community anywhere near me. I don’t know any Assyrians in different countries at all. I’ve contacted the church and they didn’t really help much, and the nearest church to me is not even functioning on a regular basis. Any advice on how to find young Assyrians? Organizations, churches, people anything is great!! All of the friends I’ve made so far are non-Assyrian and I feel homesick 🥹

There are some parties and events in different countries that I’ve been interested in attending. But I don’t know anyone and am worried it’ll be too “cliquey” and I’ll just be isolated lol. I also don’t have social media which makes things complicated!

I (21f) have been seeing a man outside of my ethnicity and he is also 21, we’ve been together for 2 months but we’ve known each other for about 6 months.

My mom knows about him but not completely, but my parents hear me talking on the phone and they assume something is up. My mom told me that my step dad told her to “keep an eye on her (me)because she’s been talking on the phone too much” and she said because of that I need to get engaged to the guy I’m talking to. To respect my brother and my dad and their name.

But I’m not ready for that and I don’t know what to do. I’ve been careful about when I talk to him on the phone, I told him about what my parents said about us getting engaged and he said we can get engaged next month if we had to. But it feels so wrong, I don’t want my parents to decide when I get engaged. I love this man so much but I’ve also only been with him for 2 months.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and also ask questions I will answer!

We hear so much negative news about the homeland, from natural disasters, land seizures, ISIS threats, whatever.

Don't let this demoralize and blackpill you. We are an ancient nation who speaks the same language as Jesus, have timeless artifacts to our name, an integral part of Christianity's and Mesopotamia's history, and more. We've been here for thousands of years despite the worst of the worst tragedies happening to us (the fact we bounced back after Timur's slaughter of up to 90% of our population is a testament to our resilience), and we'll be here for thousands more. I like to think that we have the cockroach immunity

Continue speaking Sureth, spreading the Assyrian cause, participating in your communities and building bridges to others, investing in your own community, and building athra together. We will return and it will be glorious.

Isaiah 19:23-25

23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.

24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:

25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.

I’m a first gen Assyrian, fluent in the language, and originally from Chicago. I now live in Manhattan and work in advertising-tech. It’s so hard meeting other Assyrians in. NY. I don’t think I’ve even met one in the 3 years I’ve been here.

Any advice to make friends with other Assyrians in the Manhattan area? I’d make friends with one just to eat their mom’s food tbh. 😭

But seriously. Anyone have insight. Thanks.

Imagine a general mini social network, like X or Threads. Nothing niche or featureful. Simple and minimalistic.

Bsheyno bashlomo, oh my god I just found this subreddit by accident, and this feels like a fever dream. I'm from the Netherlands and moved towns, where i dont know anyone who speaks my language. I also have never read my language on the internet that wasn't written by someone I know personally, so this feels all so strange to ne. Sorry if this has been asked before, but where are you from? And are you Suryoyo? Do you also pronounce it as Suryoyo?

Do you think we’ll have an autonomous region someday? And would you move back if it was stable and safe? The last proposal was 2017 I believe. Do you think we will be successful in the next few decades? I can’t be the only one that feels like our culture is experiencing a revival. And our political parties are reuniting again. Of course our population is small, but establishing a small region over time and gaining land as our population grows would make sense.

So I was talking to my cousin about how tough it can be to meet Assyrians to date. A lot of the social groups are organized by the church and we're not religious so prefer not to get involved there. Any advice for secular Assyrians wanting to meet like minded people?
