Assyrian varieties and dialects we handle
Assyrian Neo-Aramaic (Sureth)
The main spoken variety in the California community, associated largely with the Assyrian Church of the East and Assyrian Protestant and Evangelical congregations. ISO code aii. Many local families trace to the Urmia region of northwestern Iran, which is why southern Turlock was historically nicknamed Little Urmia.
Christian Urmi (Urmia) dialect
The Neo-Aramaic of the Urmia plain and its urban koine. This is the most common variety among older Turlock and Stanislaus County families, given the early 20th-century migration from Urmia. Most speakers understand other Sureth varieties.
Chaldean Neo-Aramaic
A closely related but separate variety (ISO code cld) spoken by many Chaldean Catholics, often with roots in the Nineveh Plain and northern Iraq. Speakers and Assyrian Neo-Aramaic speakers both call their speech Sureth and largely understand one another, but confirm which the client speaks; Chaldean families more often connect to the Chaldean Catholic Church.
Hakkari and northern Iraqi dialects
Tyari, Jilu, Barwari, and related mountain dialects brought by families from southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq, including more recent refugees. Pronunciation and some vocabulary differ from the Urmi variety; this rarely blocks comprehension but is worth noting for sensitive testimony.
