    ASSYRIAN R&B/HIP HOP WHOOOOOOO!!!

    This is what I meant by a little more evolved music. I don't think it's a good idea to have a whole album in this style because it sort of diminishes our culture's music, but I really fall in love with these kind of Assyrian songs more to tell you the truth. I'm born and raised in California...

    Wow finally I start to understand West Syriac (Suryoyo)

    I think it's not that I'm learning a lot more, but maybe because most words he says are easy to understand in the Chaldean dialect and it's basically how my priest speaks at Church except for the obvious "a" to "o" accent lol. I'm atually a little surprised though because I thought I would never...

    Assyrian Classes in San Diego??

    How Assyrians become singers?

    Does anyone here know how Assyrians become singers? I don't think they write their own lyrics (most of the time, because I know Janan Sawa does), I don't think they produce their own music, and we do not have record companies in Hollywood LOL. So how do they find people to make their songs? I'd...

    Can Chaldean really be our true ethnicity?

    Ok guys before all of you start getting mad again, lol, just explain why it can't be true. The Assyrian empire fell when the Babylonians (Chaldeans) with the help of some Medes attacked the Assyrians. True or not? Ok so if the Chaldeans attacked the Assyrians it would mean Chaldean people in...

    Assyrian music (is it time to move on?)

Well I don't think the younger generation appreciates words so old that not even their great grandparents from their mathwatha even use anymore. Most of these words have synonyms that are still Sureth. Assyrian music-...

    Raba vs Kabeera

    Chaldeans use "kabeera" to say many or a lot and "raba" to say big. For example "Soma Raba" is the big fast/lent. "kabeera nashe" is lots of people. I think it is the opposite for Assyrians. I think it was Shekwanta that told me that Kabeera comes from the Arabic kabeer which means big. كثير...

    "V" Sound when writing names?

    Ok so Assyrians pronounce the letter "bet" as a "v" sometimes correct? Well since I speak in the Chaldean dialect we say "beth" as a "w". So my question is, if you were writing a name with a "V" in it, like "Valerie" or "Valentina", what letter would you use? Would it look like this...
