Assyrians on Facebook arguing that Assyrian is NOT an Aramaic language

I'm interested in seeing peoples opinion on this.
Yes please.

This thread derailed horribly. From ad hominems about certain users to the subject of homosexuality. Lol
 
Well, I haven't done enough research on this topic but I reckon that modern Assyrian is an Aramaic language. Either that, or it is a hybrid language of Akkadian and Aramaic which is plausible since they were both official languages of the Neo-Assyrian empire. However, I believe that modern Assyrian is a heavily Akkadian influenced Aramaic language and that's what I've always seen it as.
