Who are the Assyrians?

The AssyriansThe Assyrians of today are descendants of the ancient Assyrian people who built the mighty empire of Assyria. Assyrians are not Arabian or Arabs, we are not Kurdish, our religion is not Islam.

The Assyrians are the indigenous Aramaic-speaking Christian people of the Middle East, with our own unique language, culture and heritage.

What is the history of the word Assyrian?

AshurThe English word “Assyrian” comes from classical Greek “Assurios” through Latin “Assyrius”; the Greeks borrowed it in the 8th century BC directly from the Assyrians, who at that time called themselves “Assurayeh,” originating from their capital city “Assur”. The Aramaic word “Athourayeh” was likewise borrowed from Assyrian, but earlier, in the 12th century BC, when the later “Assurayeh” was pronounced “Athourayeh” [the sound (th) shifted to (s) in Assyrian about 1100 BC]; still earlier, about 2300-1600 BC, the word had been pronounced “Ashur” and “Ashourayeh”. The initial syllable in “Assurayeh” was frequently dropped in the Neo-Assyrian period (900-600 BC), so that “Assurayeh” also had a variant “Surayeh,” which the Greeks took over as "Surios" (the English equivalent being Syrian). There was originally no difference in meaning between Assurayeh/Surayeh and Assurios/Surios; both meant the same thing.
