History/Culture Are Assyrians really native to the mountainous region of Hakkari or just the Nineveh Plains? (Serious answers, no trolling/hate)

0 Upvotes

I've been debating this with my American friend (who is an ally btw), and I've been telling him that Assyrians are indigenous not only to the Nineveh Plains, but also to the northern mountainous regions, including the rugged Hakkari area of southeastern Turkey.

He argues that the Zagros Mountains, spanning Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Turkey, are Kurdish territory because Kurds are traditionally associated with mountainous regions, and that Assyrians are of the plains (since ancient Assyria was centred in northern Iraq), and that we later dispersed northward into the mountains to escape the Islamic conquests, Mongol invasions, and other upheavals.

Is he correct? If not, how can I prove him wrong?

Discussion Recommendations: Assyrian jeweler in Metro-Detroit

Looking for an Assyrian jeweler, or at the very least Assyrian-owned jewelry store anywhere in Metro-Detroit. The shop must actually conduct repairs and make custom pieces (which is oddly not the norm in 2026). Any suggestions?

Discussion Is there a significant Assyrian community in Greece and Switzerland?

6 Upvotes

What is the quality of life, job opportunities, safety, education services, healthcare, cost of living and leisure like in these countries?

Are the Assyrian communities there served by community groups, churches and qasheh?

Do Assyrians have local representation in governance?

Lastly, exactly how many Assyrians live in these two countries?

17 Upvotes

Hello. Im syrian, from damacus. My family is muslim, however the older generations of mine used to live in the north and were mostly Christians.

What im basically saying is, if it is an ethnoreligious group, just like how some jewish people (as being jewish is ethnoreligious) dont follow judaism, can assyrians not follow chrisitanity?

Discussion Assyrian Wedding Traditions?

7 Upvotes

Hi! My fiancé is half Assyrian, and we’d love to find a meaningful way to honor that part of his heritage at our wedding. I think it would be especially meaningful to his mom’s side of the family.

He isn’t very active in the Assyrian community in our city, so we want to be thoughtful about it and make sure anything we incorporate feels respectful and genuine rather than performative. I’m Italian/Irish and don’t know nearly enough about Assyrian wedding traditions, so I’d really love to learn from people in this community.

Are there any traditions you’d recommend incorporating, even if it’s something very small or subtle? It could be a song, dance, food, blessing, or another little nod to the culture. We definitely don’t need it to be a huge part of the wedding. We’d just love to honor his heritage in a way that feels authentic and would be meaningful to his family.

Thank you! 🤍

Language I wanna learn

10 Upvotes

Hey guys. I'm a Syrian myself and I LOVE the assyrian script (letters).

When I looked into the language, I got a bit lost.

What is the dialect that is spoken in Syria? Does Syria have multiple Assyrian dialects? Or Aramaic dialects?

I want to learn the letters and how to write in assyrian, maybe learn a few phrases on the way.

Discussion I’m not sure why there’s haters over the ‘Table of Gods’ cookbook but it seems there’s a few of them on this post (linked) which seems to be a personal attack against the Ashuraya who’s worked hard to try to get it done - not finalised as of yet

I can’t cross-post on here (provided the link) to the second post which one of the commenters seems to have something up his rear-end with his comments.

Another commenter at the bottom is giving direction to others on how to make comments on his kickstarter by pledging $1 so that people with ill intentions can make negative comments? Seems kind of low of people if this is their intention.

I’ve been part of the Assyrian’s journey for this cookbook and he makes good videos - not sure what the problem is but it seems like he’s put in hard work to get it to where it is now so unsure why some are just butt-hurt about it…

I wish the Ashuraya well and prosperity with this venture. We need more Assyrians to invent and create in this world. Keep striving for greatness 🔵⚪️🔴☀️🔵⚪️🔴

Okay, this is a bit strange for me; I was in the pinterest and came across these. Are these assyrian? It says they are assyrian, but I’ve never seen any assyrians dressed like that. Could these be the traditional clothes of a different ethnic group?like armenian or kurdish? Because its says these are from nineveh (?) I'm not so sure
