i think, that the name of the topic has to change. the topic name is assyrian villages, but is urmia a village or a big town? maybe the new name can be, assyrian places. what do you think about it? KureCewlik81 23:34, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

"places" sounds like we just arrived their. How about "Villages and cities" Chaldean 20:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Khoikhoi, how about Villages and settlements? I embesize on villages because many of these villages have been homogenious Assyrian for well over 2,000 years. Chaldean 00:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Villages are settlements. A settlement is just anywhere where people live. It can be a village, town, city, etc. --Khoikhoi 01:16, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] subcategories

I seem to remember, that there is no need of having the parent-category mentioned, if the article is part of a sub-cat. So by being part of Assyrian settlements there would be no need to mention Chaldeans as Assyrian settlements are a subcat of that anyway.

But you might want to check with someone who has been around a bit longer than me before you go changing a lot of articles :-)

[edit] Separations

I think we should separate villages that used to be Assyrian villages and villages that are Assyrian today. Cause, out of those 40 Turkish villages listen, no more then 5-10 have at least one Assyrian in them Chaldean 06:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

This list needs a clean-up. It contained many villages that were and/or are inhabited by Suryoye (West Syrians) only. --Benne ['bɛnə] (talk) 17:22, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Considering the template used (it only mentions Assyrian Neo-Aramaic and Chaldean Neo-Aramaic), this page should only be about places inhabited by East Syrians aka Assyrians and Chaldeans. --Benne ['bɛnə] (talk) 22:23, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
And your point? Chaldean 04:13, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
My point is that many of the villages mentioned are not considered "Assyrian settlements" by the inhabitants, and therefore should not be listed as such. --Benne ['bɛnə] (talk) 15:50, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
But Assyrians live in these villages as well. Chaldean 02:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
With all due respect, Benne, the inhabitants of these villages are truthfully Assyrian. The identity issues our people suffer are largely a result of foreign influence, and that should not dictate the true nature of these settlements. Traditionally and, for the most part, currently, many of these villages are in fact Assyrian, whether the inhabitants are Syriac Christian, Chaldean Catholic, or adherents of the Assyrian Church of the East.Šarukinu 01:44, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Stop being immature with your Aramaeanism. — EliasAlucard|Talk 19:42 24 Aug, 2007 (UTC)


[edit] ridiculous list

i'm syriac from Midyat, 90% of the christians inhabitants of Tur-Abdin are Syriacs. nobody can obliges us to say that we are Assyrians!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.244.180.153 (talk) 10:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] World-wide

You Know what? Forget Syria. It's another country and it has nothing to do with Assyrians. Assyrians inhabited Assyria not Syria. And there is a world full of Assyrians. We're not gone. I know this because I am 100 percent assyrian both my parents are Assyrian, and my entire family tree. We've have got Awesome picnics, khalou Solaque in May, and nusardi in july. my Entire life, i've been growing up in the Assyrian Community. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.175.216 (talk) 00:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
