Assyrian Neo-Aramaic

Assyrian Neo-Aramaic is a modern dialect of the Aramaic language, which has ancient roots dating back to biblical times. It is primarily spoken by Assyrian Christians in parts of Iraq, Syria, Iran, and Turkey. The language has evolved over centuries, incorporating elements from surrounding languages, while still retaining features of its ancient predecessor. Today, it serves as a crucial aspect of Assyrian identity and culture, with efforts underway to preserve and promote it among younger generations amid challenges like diaspora and language endangerment.
