- Q488800 abstract "The various ethnic communities of indigenous pre-Arab, Semitic and often Neo-Aramaic-speaking Christian people of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Israel, advocate different terms for ethnic self-designation. Syriac Christians from the Middle East are theologically and culturally closely related to, but should not be confused with the Saint Thomas Christians from India, whose cultural and ethnic links were a result of trade links and migration by Assyrian Christians from Mesopotamia and the Middle East mostly around the 9th century.Historically, the three ethnic names used to describe those who would become Syriac Christians were extant long before the advent of Christianity. Assyrian, in its Semitic forms (Assurayu being the oldest), dates from at least the mid-21st century BC, and perhaps earlier, and refers to the land and people of Assyria in northern Mesopotamia. Aramean, from the 13th century BC, referring to The Levant subsequent to Aramean domination from the 13th century BC, and Syrian from at least the 9th century BC, originally being used specifically as an Indo-European corruption of Assyrian, but from the late 4th century BC, being applied by the Seleucid Greeks to the Arameans of The Levant also. Babylon was abandoned during the Seleucid Empire (323-150 BC), however despite this, the terms Babylon and Babylonian lingered until the Sassanid Empire (224-650 AD) when it was subsumed into Assuristan (Assyria), the Babylonians of southern Mesopotamia being ethnically, culturally and linguistically the same people as the Assyrians of northern Mesopotamia, and being regarded as such by the Sassanids.In the Near East however, in both the pre-Christian and Christian eras, the three ethnic terms used by both Near Eastern Semites (and the so-called Syriac Christians they would become), and also their neighbours were; Assyrian, Syrian and Aramean. Syrian becoming a catch all term from the late 4th century BC, taken to mean Assyrian when applied to the Assyrians of Upper Mesopotamia/Athura/Assuristan, and Aramean when applied to Syriac Christians in western, northwestern, southern and central Syria.Other purely doctrinal and theological terms with no ethnic meaning whatsoever, such as Syriac Christian, Chaldean Catholic, Jacobite and Nestorian, appeared much later, usually as labels imposed by theologians from Europe. The problem became more acute in 1946, when with the creation and independence of Syria, the adjective "Syrian" came to refer to that Arab-majority independent state, where Syriac Christians (Arameans and Assyrians) formed Christian ethnic minorities.There are around 7,000,000 Syriac Christians of various ethnicities and denominations in the world, the majority living in the diaspora with the largest centres being in India, the United States, Canada, Syrian Arab Republic, Sweden, Australia, Lebanon, Germany, Russia, The Netherlands, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq (Iraqi Kurdistan), Turkey and Iran.".
