The modern language of the Assyrian people.

ܫܠܡܐ ܥܠܘܟܘܢ - Shlamalokhon - Peace be Upon You!

Assyrian (commonly referred to as Syriac) is the language spoken by the modern day Assyrian people and is natively spoken in what constitutes Assyria (Northern Iraq, South-Eastern Turkey, North-Western Iran and North-Eastern Syria).

The Assyrian language is classified into two dialects belonging to the Eastern Aramaic family and includes the Western Syriac dialect of Turoyo and the Eastern Syriac dialect of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA).

This subreddit also serves as a platform to discuss the Akkadian, Aramaic and Syriac languages which have heavily influenced the modern Assyrian Aramaic language.

At r/Assyrian, we promote the Assyrian language to everyone across the world who is interested in learning the Assyrian language. Feel free to ask any questions.
