SYRIAC PEOPLE, Eastern Christians

- Mesopotamia. Land of two rivers, the Euphrates and the Tigris. Descendants of the ancient cultures are Siriacs, Arameic-speaking Christians.
Nowadays the Syriacs inhabit the "Upper Mesopotamia," which includes Northern Iraq, Turkey, and Syria -- as well as Lebanon and Iran.
At the end of the First World War, after the downfall of the Ottoman empire, their life experienced major change. The newly defined borders divided their population into different states. Everywhere they represent a national and religious minority. Over the past 100 years they have been persecuted and their rights violated. Therefore, great numbers of them continue to emigrate to Europe and North America.
Syriacs speak Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus himself. That is why they became acquainted with his teachings very early and adopted Christianity. Since they lived in the East, outside the borders of the Roman Empire, they were called the Eastern Christians.
I am syriac orthodox from Iraq. I speak Aramaic, English, Arabic.
sallyss 1313 beautiful do you speak Sureth Aramaic or Turoyo Aramaic?
👍
Syriac Orthodox followers from Mesopotamian regions speak Turoyo...
I am syriac too long live assyrian tihe othuroyo ☝🏻
I keep wondering if christians, like myself, of leabnon Syria Israel Iraq ALL spoke Aramaic at one time very revently before the coming of Arabic. I want to learn the basics. I just never liked Arabic. I see it as an invading colonizer language.
May God bless the Syriac Orthodox Church and our Syriac brothers and sisters. Love from Greece!!!!!!

The difference is mostly politics and religion, but all those names are for the same people. When you have a people with over 3000 years of history, things can get confusing.
Basically:
Syriac is just a modern word for Syrian. We are the original native Syrians, before Arabs conquered the region.. We call ourselves Syriac now, to not be confused with the 90% arab population of modern Syria.
Syrian going back even further, is literally just the Greek word for Aramean. So those two words are synonyms, but we began using the Greek term ourselves when we became Christians due to Hellenism.
Those who come from the Ninveh region, and the city Mousul are generally called Assyrians, but originally, that was only in terms of geography. Mousul is the Arabic name for the city, in Aramaic it is called Othur/Athur, and in ancient Akkadian, the city was called Ashur (as in Assyria).
Therefore, those who come from that city/region were sometimes called Assyrians. But during the 1800s, there was a political nationalist movement in that region.
Our ancestors were actually an assimilated blend of Arameans and Assyrians that joined together about 2600 years ago. When Brittish explorers arrived to Ninveh in the 1800s and dug up ancient Assyrian ruins, it kickstarted the idea that the locals wanted to reconnect culturally to their Assyrian ancestors. This idea began to spread to some Syriacs in other regions (as far as to Lebanon), and it caused a big split in opinion.
You're probably very confused by now, but I'll simplify.
For the last 2000 years, we have called ourselves "Suryoye" which means Syriac/Syrian.
All of us speak Aramean.
Due to basically differences in ideology, some prefer to embrace the heritage of our Aramean ancestors, and so we call ourselves either Syriacs or Arameans as a synonym. This faction focuses on our Aramean language as our most important cultural heritage, and are generally more respectful to the authority of the Church.
Some prefer to embrace the heritage of our Assyrian ancestors, despite the fact that we today share almost nothing incommon with them in language or culture (they have made some attempts to revive long dead traditions). This faction focuses more on the fact that we are the direct decendants of the Assyrians (often ignoring that we have just as much, and even more, Aramean ancestry). They are most of all concerned with more secular nationalism. They are not completely wrong to call themselves Assyrians, our ancestors were both Assyrians and Arameans, but their approach tends to be somewhat disengenous and revisionist.
Chaldean does not refer to a seperate ethnicity. They are a religious offshoot (Catholics), but still the same people.
So we are essentially all the same people, but have split off in modern times due to different views on ideology and history. Nobody seems keen on finding common ground, so we usually just call ourselves:
Syriacs(Arameans)/Assyrians/Chaldeans
@@The_Moe_Szyslak_Exp_feat_Homer great commentary! Thank you very much for all this information.
Brother Assyrians predate arameans by thousands of years. And it was Assyrians who have survived instead of arameans. Also modern day Assyrians are not only a mixture of aramean and ancient Assyrians but also akkadians, hurrien, Sumerian etc.
Also there are many books from the 16th century which say that the ACOE had Assyrian members so it’s not that this came up in the 18th century. We have always kept that name for ourselves. Look at the Assyrian provinces and their names and what they used to call us after the fall of our empire in 6th century BC.
Also it was the Syriac patriarch who said in an interview with AssyriaTV that the only reason people in Germany started calling themselves “Aramean” was just to mistranslation since most other places you just say “Syriac”
Whilst it isn’t wrong to say you are Syriac nowadays (since at those times anyone that said “I am suraya” was just assumed Assyrian) it is wrong to deny you are anything other than Assyrian.
If you call yourself aramean because you may have some aramean genetics (although you primaraily will have Assyrian genetics), why don’t you call yourself Akkadian or Jewish (since many were brought to our lands)? What’s stopping you from calling yourself those names?

GOD BLESS YOU AHONO AND GOD BLESS ALL SYRIAC IN WORLD
There are Syrian Christians in India, mainly Kerala. We are Indian by nationality and Syrian Christians by heritage and style of worship. We had the Holy Mass in Syriac till the 1960's. We still have Syriac Masses at special occasions. We have two types of Syriac worship here, East Syriac and west Syriac. We attribute St. Thomas as the father of our Christian faith as He came to Kerala in AD 52 and established the Church in India. Hence the Syrian Christian community of Kerala are more really more ancient than many European communities.
We Lost many of our traditons due to the Synod of Diamper of 1599.
And unfortunately, we Mar Thoma Nazranis are divided.
@@alphonsebenny8650 true. Makes me really very sad.
Only Yehova knowns the future now....
We christians have the duty to lead the people towards salvation, especially priests.
But, now many priests have engaged in Evil activities, especially in Catholicism.
The guilty priests are defended by the Roman authorities.
May God do the Justice...
Amen.
I have been many times in India. I studied 2 years in Kottayam. I love Kerela i love Malayalee people. I was feeling mayself at home when i was in Kerala. Just 2 weeks ago i was there.

This video is very misleading India and China have nothing to do with aramean and Assyrian history they weren’t alive at the time they took our words and used them in there church with a twist to say it in there language that doesn’t mean they speak Aramaic

much respect and love to Syriac Orthodox from Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church
I am from Kerala and our ancestors were from Assyria and still preserving eastern Syriac liturgy for our Holy Mas. ❤
Assyrian and Assyria is not anywhere near India and had nothing to do with India at all ur ancestors don’t come from us it’s ur people u come from or British empire not middle eastern.
Ur country doesn’t speak Aramaic u speak ur language in a Christian church in ur Hindu country not Aramaic or Syriac it’s just a prayer in a church u speak in a dialect of ur language with words u took from Assyrians and Arameans not originally meant to be there but ur church adopted them.
Ritaa you're so ignorant you have no clue what you're saying. You sound racist dumb and uneducated about history. Typical low IQ Americans usually are. We Orthodox of Kerala come from an ancient line of people more so than Assyrians. Our descendants come from Israel Levant Jews and it is proven in our DNA studies. Not all families only some families. I have a lot of people in my family with very light skin and green eyes. The Israelites came to Kerala due to Solomons time or for trade routes. It is recorded there were thousands of Jews living here when st Thomas converted my ancestors. He established 7 churches that were originally Jewish synagogues. Our history goes back way more than you can imagine. Our state is not only Hindu but ancient Christian as well. Don't categorize us into one box to fit your racist ideals.

My church in India still follows east Syriac liturgy. Syro malabar catholic church
@@aaronc235 there are two rites for syriac christianity- west and east rite..malankara orthodox belongs to west Syriac rite..jino was right when he mentioned Syro malabar follows east syriac liturgy..

I need to learn Aramaic n need to go to Syria. I have a Syrian colleague who worked with me I M retired n needto go there in support Aramaic language n learn The Lord's prayer.

Of course they did.
Iam Syriac Orthodox from India
We need to unite all together. Christians need to be one!
Catholicism is the butcher of eastern Syriacs! remember the crusaders wreaking havoc on our ancestors throughout eastern europe & the levant. Catholicism is a heretic mafioso philosophy that is utterly unchristian
10000000%
it would take a genocide similar to Nazi holocaust for us mid-east christ to come together otherwise we re all hot air
@@LoverOFhopeANDcompassion we already had one when the ottomans occupied our lands they expelled they massacred hundreds of thousands and expelled over 80% of the christian’s in the levant
Aramaic is actually the language that Jesus spoke, not Hebrew as some think. During Jesus's time, Aramaic was the lingua franca of that era in the Middle East.
These people are Christians since Jesus's time. The hardship they must endure sorrounded by Muslims.
May Jesus bless them and protect them.
Jewish aramaic
@Green Road but they still forced islam and killed their people, its not like islam saved them, islam actually made it worse
Stop hating Muslims. Assyrians still living here after 1000 years of Muslim rule is proof enough of our tolerance. Are there any Muslims left in Spain???

Bro the modern Assyrians are syriac who claim to be descendants of the Assyrian empire, come on no beef just logic.
@@sandykk4114 What do you think Syriac means bro?
@@worldwidemapping9314 Syriac means سريان
And Assyrian means اشوري
People misunderstand the 2 concepts thinking that Syriac are Assyrians in English.
@@sandykk4114 You're using Arabic translations. Syriac (Suryan) comes from Syrian which was what the Greeks called the Assyrians. Syrian comes from the word Assyrian

Happy to be named as CYRIAC.. with love from India
@@theredstonesword9293 They're not Syriac most of them are converts. They have maybe 5% Syriac ancestry I give them that.

Northern Iraq is Assyrian, in the past they were Syriac. Syriac being Christian denomination
All best from Poland. Christians brothers.
They are welcome to India. We are also Syriac, India today has the biggest Syrian Christian population in the world, in continuity since 52 AD
Beautiful!
These are in fact the modern day ethnic Assyrians.
xPoetic~ No idiot, we are suryoye, arameans. Not assyrians, but assyrians are OUR brothers and sisters. NOAH HAD A SON HES NAME WAS SEM, SEM HAD FIVE SONS 2 OF THEM WAS ARAM AND ASSUR, decendents of ARAM ARE ARAMEANS (SYRIACS, SURYOYE), decendents from ASSUR ARE ASSYRIANS ASHURAYE
Piss off with that Shem shit. You seriously believe all of that?
+majkel acar Armeans/Syriacs are Assyrians, We are the same people, In my family alone a part of my family identifies as Armeans/Syriacs and the Majority of my family know they are Assyrians. We are the same blood my brother. Armeans/Syriacs Are Assyrians we are the same
Gaben pls
Fuck off assyrianized nastorians
Go search for Assyrian name in history from the fall of Assyria till the 18th century A.D.
I just want to read anything talking about an ethnic group called Assyrian between that time.
Your gonna tell me yes, we Assyrians are here
Your grandfathers and church adopted the Assyrian name in the 18th century by England and that was a big movement that affected us all negatively
They used you guys to fight Kurds and then when they finished with you they left you.
What a shame.
Btw, the only couple times the Assyrian name mentioned in manuscript from fall of Assyria till the 18th century was when someone writing about someone else calling him Othoroyo which he refers to an animal or a bloody beast about that other person.
There is often a confliction of identity amongst my people, christians of Lebanon. The Maronites in particular maintain some Syriac in their liturgy, and claim to be western syriacs, cousins of the Assyrians to the East. Do you guys believe this is true? Are christians in Lebanon and Syria Aramean/Syriac, or are they simply Arabized christians?
....Actually Syriacs have dominated most part of the middle east in ancient times.
But due to the cruelty and persecution under the Orthodox Muslim rulers, who killed the Syriacs in large scale, the number of Syriacs have dwindled.
@@alphonsebenny8650 can provide any source about Muslims killed a big number of themes huh I don't think so. stop blame Arabs for this without the Arabs they would like to be still under Rome and Persia rule.
@@laithalzoubi54 It is true that the Ottomans persecuted Christians but Arab caliphates were much better towards the Christians
@@adamelshayeb to be more specific the last 150 years for the ottomans were really bad it's not a religion different it's racist. anything consider non-Turk is a second class. Arabs caliphates were good not because they are Arabs but because the lived among Christians and Jews even before Islam we share blood with them and the prophet was good with them.

A few months ago, I watched a video which claimed that only one place left of on earth, a place in Syria, has people who speak the language of Jesus namely aramaic. Now you’re telling me all syriacs speak the language of Jesus as well, what am I missing?
Most of the Syriac Christians in Iraq and Turkey speak Aramaic as well. They have whole villages in Iraq. There are two branches of the Aramaic language, the Eastern-Mesopotamian branch of dialects which includes the standard Syriac dialect and others spoken by Assyrians, and the Western-Levantine branch which is only spoken in a few villages in southern Syria close to the border with Lebanon. Some argue that the Levantine varieties are closer to the dialect Jesus spoke because they are closer geographically to where Jesus lived, but others argue that the Mesopotamian varieties are closer to Jesus due to the fact that they rely on a standard written variety of Aramaic, Classical Syriac, that can be traced back to ancient times and so may have better preserved the language, whereas the Levantine varieties have no standard writing system and thus have been observed by some to have a higher degree of Arabic influence. There is also the fact that the main religions in the few Levantine villages are Greek Orthodox, Melkite Greek Catholic(my religion), and Sunni Islam, all three of which are largely Arabic-speaking communities throughout Syria and the Middle East. Whereas the Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic communities, as well as the Assyrian Catholic Chaldeans and most Assyrians from the Church of the East, tend to be Aramaic speaking across their communities in the Middle East so that they have a much larger number of speakers and their people can retain the language even if they move out of the village they were born in because most of the people of their religious community in their native countries still speak the language.
Syriac is just "modern" Aramaic. It is still quite old though. It is the same language just another term for it.
I think he is not a priest.. just..a monk who live in monsatery
My people, well half of my people...the other half is Armenians.
We assyrians love armenians and they are the only people that assyrians agree to marry other than assyrians themselves.
I know i'm partially from Armenia, Syria and Italia.
I love Assyrian and Armenian but they don't want to marry me
@@judeisnot_rude lol that's because Assyrians and Armenains marry from each other which means you are probably neither
Pay no mind to the children squabbling here....it's embarrassing to their Heavenly Father.

Knanaya comes from Iran only a small number have that DNA, you mix with each other too much and say you're pure, not Syrian
Syriac
Aramaic and all prehistoric language and all old tradition is now very popular in Europe. Europe its now going to hollow in religion . We in Poland , i say for myself, belives that can be like in old time on terms religion. Its now even in Poland back to Orders. For example Templars. I mean people looking for something what can make they life worth some real quality again .Live for some important. Not for money and for myself but pray and live with help other people.
To cal a saint ”second Christ” - that tells all about your theology!
Why do they Cross themselves like Roman Catholics if they say they are Orthodox ??...
I LOWE WERY CHRIST PIPEL
The information u have here some is right but not completely the Indian church or India did not take our language or did the Assyrian or aramean empire ever visit india they had nothing to do with that country and that country wasn’t alive at the time so ur info is wrong
Many religion are using blood of animals and birds in their religious worship, but some body know the value of holy blood of Yehzu.

Marilyn N Dear we are called to be Christ. To be "like Christ" is what it means to be "saved". That is the whole purpose of being a Christian.. to be like Christ. What does Psalm 82:6 say? It says "You are gods" . What does Genesis says.. it ways that we humans are created in the image of God... it is true that our image was corrupted.. but Christ restored us and it is with in our reach to be like Christ.. to be "gods" as Psalm 82:6 says.
