Syriacs

Syriacs are an ancient Christian ethnic group originating from the Near East, primarily in countries like Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. They speak Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, and have a rich cultural and religious heritage rooted in early Christianity. Historically, Syriacs have maintained their traditions, churches, and language despite facing various challenges, including persecution and displacement. They are distinct from other Christian groups due to their unique liturgical practices and historical ties to early Christian communities in the Middle East. Today, Syriacs continue to preserve their identity through religion, language, and cultural practices amid ongoing regional complexities.
