Hi Farid,

I don't know for a fact that I'm in any way, shape or form an Assyrian. There is nothing Assyrian about me. The language certainly means nothing - every middle eastern group spoke it at one time or another.

What you said about former Jews turning Christian - it's possible, I suppose. I suppose we may well be descended from captive Israelites or Jews that the Kings of Assyria brought to Nineveh.

How can I possibly know for sure? How can YOU possibly know for sure that you aren't descended from the tribe of, say, Manasseh or Naphtali which were taken captive and placed in Adiebene and Urmia?

You're right - we don't know.

I am Assyrian in the sense that I come from the land of Assyria. Whether or not I'm actually descended from those people who built the empire 3 thousand years ago - I have no way of proving that. I think I am. My parents thought they were. But that's not scientific.

Who knows?

The only thing I know for sure is that I'm an Aramaic-speaking Christian from the land of Assyria.

Shlame,
Paul Younan
