Chaldean-Assyrian-Syrian identity

The Chaldean-Assyrian-Syrian identity refers to a collective cultural and historical affiliation among ethnic groups originating from the ancient Near East’s Mesopotamian region. Chaldeans and Assyrians are primarily of Assyrian descent, sharing language, religion (mainly Syriac Christianity), and cultural traditions rooted in ancient Assyria. "Syrian" can refer to geographic identity linked to Mesopotamia and parts of the Levant, sometimes used interchangeably or to describe broader regional ties. Today, these groups maintain distinct identities but often share common linguistic, religious, and historical roots, emphasizing their deep connection to the ancient civilizations of Iraq, Syria, and surrounding areas.
