This is a project to reach consensus over a group of articles with related content. It is hoped that this project will harmonise these articles, remove duplication and provide a set of clear, encyclopaedic articles. It is felt that working on one or two of the articles in isolation is not desirable. Please edit this page to keep it updated, but please don't add material that other editors may find controversial. Use the talk page to discuss these ideas.

  • Chaldean - I am a Chaldean Assyrian and I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. I can speak our language fluently and I would like to help out anyway I can with the topic about our people.
  • Suryoyo - Im a Syriac from Sweden, I have a master in Computer Science and im currently researching about syriac history (arameans/assyrians/chaldeans).
  • Gareth Hughes — I am an Anglican linguist, working especially with Syriac, classical and modern. I have made a number of trips to various parts of Turkey and Syria to study the language.
  • Sargon - I am a Syriac speaking Chaldean Catholic Assyrian. I was born in Baghdad, Iraq. The village of my anscestors is Araden and Hakkari. I speak fluent Syriac, both the Chaldean and Assyrian dialects (Alqosh and Urmia as this encyclopedia has listed). Although the Araden dialect is slightly different. I can write both Estrangeli (squared) and Madhanaya scripts as well as Assyrian (Ktav Ashuri or Hebrew). I was raised into the Chaldean tradition, however I've always referred to myself as an Assyrian; yet most people in the Detroit area are familiar with only the term Chaldean. My family were the leaders of Araden and still own 900 acres of land there.
  • Yuhanen Beth Tshallo - Im also an Assyrian/Syriac. Im originally from Anhil in Turabdin/Turkey.Im also fluent in Syriac (Turoyo) and Assyrian ( Sureth). For now I live in Sweden but Im planning to move back to Anhil in a couple of years.

I am live and was born in Chicago, USA. My father is born in Kirkuk, Iraq and my mother is born in Baghdad, Iraq. I speak fluent Assyrian, but I am a little slow on reading and writing in the Syriac language. I plan on becoming a Civil Engineer and move to Iraq to help rebuild the remaining villages that we have left.
