Chaldean Syriac

Chaldean Syriac is a dialect of the Aramaic language historically spoken by Christian communities in Iraq and surrounding regions. It combines elements of classical Syriac, a language used in religious texts of Christianity, with influences from the Chaldean dialect. Today, it functions as a liturgical language for the Chaldean Catholic Church and others, helping preserve religious traditions and cultural identity. Though less commonly spoken daily, it remains a vital part of heritage, literature, and worship for its community.
