This is absolutely beautiful Elaine! Thank you so much for documenting these videos so we can teach these to our children in the future. Lord bless you... and the kadeh look delicious!
I'm one-eighth Assyrian, via my dad's mom. I so want to learn some of the culture and language, but Grandma doesn't remember much of either, having immigrated to the U.S. at seven years old. Her mother, my Mum-mum, knows enough to teach, I think, but she lives in New York, and I'm in Alabama.
Just dropping in to say thank you and God bless you for the beautiful video. We always get it in the Auto play on TV and my daughters love it. So I had to drop a comment From laptop. Hope everyone are well and good health.
Elaine, Lovely video. Your children are just adorable. Thank you for teaching them Assyrian. The Grand Mother is wonderful. I visited your web site and the puzzle idea is fantastic.
This is encouraging. How many active users of this language are there today? And is this language in daily use? Such as books (novels and magazines better, not just children's textbook) and news.
Hi, lovely video. I was wondering how much different the Assyrian language is from Chaldean. I have noticed similar or the same words. I am trying to learn and teach my newborn Chaldean. Thank you!
Chaldean is a church denomination and not an ethnicity . I"m from the tribe Baz (Baznayah). We have people that belong to both churches ( chaldean and Church of the east). But there is no Baznayah that will ever claim to be an ethnic "chaldean". Your ethnicity is Assyrian and as far as the language is concerned , its the same language with a different dialect . The dialect depends not on the church you belong to , but the region and tribe you're from. Seriously , you are a dad now , it's time you learn the basics about your ethnic background .
@@basilios8732 Well, actually he is right. Even if sometimes people call Neo-Aramaic "Neo-Assyrian Language", it's actually not true. Current Neo-Aramaic is a modernization of Aramaic, with some dialectal Syrian arabic influence if you come from Maaloula. Assyrian, I mean the original assyrian language, is actually from the Eastern Semitic language branch, whereas Aramaic is a Central Semitic language. Despite both being related, what is called Assyrian language nowadays is actually Neo-Aramaic. Furthermore, it makes more sense to call our language Aramaic as it was the name of the original political entity to have used this language (Aram-Damascus) rather than Assyrians who invaded the Aramean kingdom and later on adopted their language as a lingua franca (due to business and pragmatic reasons, Aramaic being already widely spoken in the region by that time, even by Canaanite, Israelite and so on). Later on, it was also the Syriac Aramean that was spread as far as in Mongolia and China by priests which spread Christianity in Asia. By the way, if you are curious have a look at the Mongolian alphabet, you'll find it strangely similar to another one you are familar with :D Anyhow, yes, we are one people with a common ancestry. Simply wish the rest of the Levantine population will one day remember and cherrish their roots. Shloma lkolkhon!
Sorry for the late reply on this. Great-grandma here is from Iran, and the little girls were born in the United States. I am their mother (behind the camera), and I am American. I began learning Assyrian when my kids were born.
What a beautiful family. God bless Assyrians everywhere. Our language, history and culture are worth keeping. Khaya Atur hamasha. Basma ganakh.
Nana is a jewel. Thank you for sharing her knowledge of Assyrian songs with us
So lovely. Nana’s have so much to share with our children and our Assyrian culture. May the Lord bless them with wisdom and good health. 🙏🏼💕
It’s blessing from god to have her in your live.
God bless you all my Assyrian
