Who are the Assyrians?

[Balthier]

No. Assyrians are very proud to identify themselves as middle easterners while Turkish members here like Bathier, Kemaliste and others always tried to link themselves to Europeans including yourself btw where you always post pictures and videos showcasing how light and secular the Turks are in comparison to other middle easterners where I haven't seen any Assyrian here doing that sort of thing. It's called psychological self-projections.

Curb you inferiority complex you fool, i have never, ever did such a thing, and if you cant prove that i did then you are a two faced liar. Enough with you boot licking already, you butthurt idiot.

Assyrians are Aramaic-speaking Christians of Iraq and South-Eastern Turkey. They got their name from Assyrian empire, who launched mass deportations of conquered people (mainly Arameans, Hurrians and Luwians). In Sassanid times their land was called Beth-Aramaye (land of Arameans) and Asorestan (land of Assyrians). Religiously they divided into two denominations:
- Syriac Orthodox (Jacobites) in Mardin and Tur-Abdin.
- Church of East (Nestorians) in Northern Iraq (formerly in Hakkari).
Some of them became united with papacy and created Chaldean and Syro-Catholic churches.
Many people confused ancient and modern Assyrians. Ancient Assyrians speak Akkadian language and wrote in cuneiform. Modern ones are Aramaic speakers and use Canaanite-derived Aramaic alphabet.

It's possible, there was a strong Assyrian presence in Mardin prior to 1915. Although a lot were killed and many others had to flee during the genocide, I can pm you some kits from that region if you'd like.

Assyrian people are cool in my book

Lol S.Italian predominantly East Med. A typical S.Italian is dinaro med not east med.

And no the europe boundaries exist, except East Med populations (C/S.Italians, Greeks, Albanians, part of Bulgaria) every european is closer to each other before being closer to Levantines and by a very far distance.

By the way white is a synonym of european.

Kivan is a self-hating, mentally ill, illiterate MENA teenager (we have those like him) who thinks he is more like German masters than his Kurdish and Assyrian brothers (when we are in his own top 10 cluster list Lmao). But I'll happily go through his deluded post where he mentioned me, wrongfully accusing me of bullshit (because he is bored and sick of his life):



I think Kivan suffers from a poor eyesight. The North Italian posted here looked extremely West Asian/Arab. Nothing to do with OWD. Here he is:



I compared him to another Assyrian man, who looked less 'Arabid' compared to him. Nothing OWD. Just common sense. Besides, the OP likely posted a gypsy or NA mixed Italian. Kivan was too stupid to not see this (not surprised).


Dare I say Maltese (Semitic speakers) and Cypriots (Turkic, Greek and Arabic speaking minorities closer to Levantines) are quote unquote "white". Besides, most people in this forum agree that Levantine east meds look like Cypriots and Maltese to some degree.



Kivan's illiteracy and stupidity at its finest here. Some North Italian was obsessed with posting blonde and blue eyed Italians. Everyone pointed this out saying something in the likes of "we get it, Italians are white already, no need to prove anything". And I was doing the same, albeit in a sarcastic tone -- I'm guessing he is too obtuse to realise that?



Lol. So saying race is gradient is OWD. I'll say it again, Lebanese would cluster more close to Cypriots than Yemenis and Qataris, even though they're from the Middle East. Europeans may cluster closer together, but that doesn't mean they are the contiguous white race, when there are pure white, non-Euro Caucasians in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Again, a feeder to his agenda.



A geographical and climatic fact. Saudi Arabia is different than Lebanon as climate and vegetation goes. And most Lebanese people are lighter than Saudi Arabians, just the same way most Austrians are lighter than Italians in general. But this is OWD I guess.



He is butthurt that Europe will take in more MENA Christians here. This was a stupid one. But I understand why he is so disgruntled after reading this thread.


Saudi Arabians and Yemenis have more Veddoid and extremely Arabid looking types than all of West Asia. Yep, very OWD. I should be arrested already.

Such a sad thing with this guy. Many Turks in this forum are cool. Him and the "Thracian" Itvulva are just sour towards us (and their Islamic friends Kurds too Lmao) because they see themselves as lighter, Nordic people compared to us. They fawn over the European users too (but I'm glad that people like Cristiano Viejo put them back in their MENA place hahahaha). Shows who really is OWD in here. And most people in this forum actually have pointed Kivan's OWD-ism. It's rather funny, really. He is projecting so badly, and throwing it on me.

Speaking of Kurds, if they were a minority in northwestern Turkey I'm sure Kivan and his Itvulva girlfriend would suck on to them, but because they're from the southeast they are "dark, gypsy MENAs". Lmao. Kivan also has a thing for the white-shifted Georgians in the north Caucasus. Now place the Georgians in southeastern Turkey, Kivan will see them negatively and will irrationally distance himself from them, as a good self-hating MENA he is in the name of colorism and Nordicism. Just predictable and pathetic. But I am entertained of course.

Assyrians are an integrated part of our nation.
When we were in high school we made a trip to Mardin Midyat and visided Mor Gabriel Monastry.
It was great experiement.

[Bosniensis]

Assyrians today live mostly in Turkey as part of Turkish nation, they spoke several languages, the most popular ones are Arameiac and Luwian in Anatolia.

They have heavily influenced Etruscan language and are therefore linguistic ancestors of Latin language.

When Assyrian and Neo-Assyrian people mixed with Pelasgians, and Celtic people through 1000 years a Greek and Roman world was born.

They are daddy's of classical Mediterranean.

[Abdelnour]

Assyrians are good people in my books. Shame that they losing their homeland due to radical Islam.

They are predominantly muslims, like 80%

Assyrians and Syrians are the same thing, both name used because of religious differences.
