Chaldean–Syriac–Assyrian People

The Chaldean, Syriac, and Assyrian people are ethnic groups primarily from the Middle East, particularly Iraq, Syria, and parts of Turkey and Iran. They share a common heritage and language roots in Aramaic, an ancient language. Historically, they are linked to the Assyrian Empire, one of the oldest civilizations. Today, many identify with Christianity, particularly the Assyrian Church of the East, and are known for their rich cultural traditions, including music, dance, and cuisine. Despite facing significant challenges and displacement in recent decades, they strive to preserve their cultural identity and heritage.
