    Default Assyrian: What language does it sound like to you?

    It sounds a lot like Hebrew to me, which is a sister language to it anyway, so I guess that makes sense (speech starts at 12 seconds).

    Agreed, but sounds more closer to Hebrew than Arabic. It doesn't sound similar to western Aramaic.

    In the world of harshness, Semitic languages could compete with Dutch. But in the end, Dutch is the winner.

    This is Western Assyrian. It's unintelligible to us who speak the Eastern Assyrian variant (the woman in OP is speaking that and majority of Assyrians speak it). It sounds more like Arabic due to the guttural A and H sounds, in which they use constantly.
