  Cyberspace Lingo

On Sunday the 11th of July, 1999 at 6:30 PM, the following News Clip was broadcast on prime time SBS World News to around 19 million Australians. 
The 2 minute news clip begins by introducing the Assyrian people by showing the 'old ways' in which the culture, traditions and language had been maintained for the past 2,600 years. The St. George Assyrian Church of the East, located in the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, along with it's Assyrian language school are shown to symbolise the two main pieces of our identity, 'Religion' and 'Language' respectively. 
A few of the AYGV's members are then shown using Assyria's Letters word-processing software. The modern maintenance of the Assyrian culture, traditions and language through the use of Cyberspace is then shown by displaying the following sites.
