Assyrian/Chaldeans/Syriacs/Aramaeans[edit]

There is some confusion over these names for ethnic groups. It would be good to get all Wikipedia articles in this area to reach a consensus of style and definition.

Assyrian (people) - work in progress[edit]

The Assyrian people, originating in what is now northern Iraq, northwestern Iran and eastern Turkey, continue the cultural heritage of ancient Assyria, and is an ethnic group that is traditionally Christian and speaking modern Aramaic. The Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syriacs or Aramaeans form together a distinct group of Aramaic-speaking Christians in the Middle East. There is no clear consensus among members of these groups as to the exact definition of these terms.

This article covers the Assyrians as an ethnic group or nation.

History[edit]

(OPTIONAL) Main article: [[History of <GROUP>]].

Probable history of the ethnic group. Topics can include:

  • Major migrations
  • Origins of ethnic group and/or origins of its identity
  • If this is an extinct group or an extinct classification, its demise

Geography[edit]

In what countries/regions are people of this ethnicity found, and how many are there in each country.

Then, for each country that seems relevant, a separate section, as follows:

COUNTRY 1[edit]

(OPTIONAL) Main article: [[History of <GROUP> in <COUNTRY>]].

This is an area to be particularly careful about POV and about attribution of statements. In particular, it is important to distinguish persecution from mere prejudice and informal status from formal status.

Some areas that may merit coverage are:

  • Percent of the population of country in <YEAR>. Multiple years may be relevant if changes are dramatic.
  • First arrived in country when?
  • formal status (past and present): For example:
    • In the United States, some Native American tribes are officially "recognized" by the government.
    • In many countries, there are set-aside parliamentary seats, recognized 'minority languages', etc.
    • In South Africa in the apartheid era, various ethnic groups has an official status of less than full citizenship.
    • in the United States prior to the Civil War, chattel slavery of African-Americans.
  • movements for separatism, autonomy, self-rule, irredentism, etc.
  • levels of assimilation/acculturation (e.g. what is the predominant language among the ethnic group in that country)
  • formal and informal restrictions on ethnic culture/language in that country (e.g. laws against Kurdish-language broadcasts in Turkey, laws against wearing the hijab in France, Germany)
  • informal institutions of oppression in that country. For example:
    • In the United States, until the second half of the 20th Century, many neighborhoods had effective covenants against Afro-Americans and Jews.
    • In many European countries, there is enough prejudice against Gypsies to be a clear factor of oppression.
    • The genocidal Interahamwe attacks on Tutsis in 1990s Rwanda.
  • informal institutions of protection in that country. For example:
    • The protection of Moslems and Jews by the Mongols during the Mongol rule over China
    • Russian sponsorship of various Slavic minorities in the Ottoman Empire
    • Examples of constitutional protection of minority ethnic rights in the US.

COUNTRY 2[edit]

etc.

Culture[edit]

(OPTIONAL) Main article: GROUP Culture.

For those ethnicities not closely connected to a nation state, this is the place to discuss issues similar to what we would cover for the culture of a nation state. Typically (though not always), if a nation state exists, we can just point to that article.

Language[edit]

Is this group closely associated with a particular language or languages? What other language(s) do they commonly use? Obviously, if they have a language uniquely their own, that needs to be handled according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages.

Religion[edit]

Is this group closely associated with a particular religion? What other religion(s) do a large number of them adhere to?

Literature[edit]

(OPTIONAL) Main article: GROUP literature. Description of a body of literature or authors associated with the ethnic group. Could also refer to articles on the languages used or the countries in which they live: e.g. Literature of XXXX Country.

Arts[edit]

Description and discussion of artifacts, architecture, or inventions that are unique or different when practiced by members of the group.

Institutions[edit]

Countries, regional governments, para-states, ethnic political parties, ethnically-based liberation movements, etc. closely associated with this ethnicity

Classification[edit]

(Optionally) a description of larger ethnic classifications under which this group falls.

Applicability of the term "ethnic group" to <GROUP>[edit]

(Optionally) Discuss any controversies about defining of <GROUP> as an ethnic group (other than those which apply to the notion of "ethnic group" in all cases).

In many cases these issues are country-specific and are better taken up somewhere under Geography. Also, this section is subject to retitling (e.g. "Applicability of the term 'tribe' to the Pequot" -- see Wikipedia:WikiProject Ethnic Groups/Pequot). Again, remember, these templates are only suggestions.

Subgroups[edit]

List of subgroups of the ethnicity. Major subgroups with lots of information should probably have their own article.

See also[edit]

References[edit]

This should nearly always include references for the population statistics. See Armenian (people) for a good example.

Population statistics[edit]

Syriac Orthodox Church - work in progress[edit]

The Syriac Orthodox Church is an autocephalous Oriental Orthodox church based in the Middle East with members spread throughout the world. It is a major inheritor of Syriac Christianity and has Syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, as its official language. The church is led by the Syrian Patriarch of Antioch. The church is often referred to as Jacobite or Monophysite, but these terms are misleading, and not appreciated by the majority of the church today. In 2000, a Holy Synod ruled that the name of the church in English should be the Syriac Orthodox Church. Before this, it was, and often still is, known as the Syrian Orthodox Church. The name was changed to disassociate the church from the polity Syria. The official name of the church in Syriac is `Idto Suryoyto Trişuth Shuvħo, this name has not changed, nor has the name changed in any other language.

History[edit]

The Syriac Orthodox Church is one of a number of churches that represent one of the earliest regions of church growth, north and east from Jerusalem. It was in the city of Antioch (modern day Antakya in southeast Turkey) that Christians were first so called (Acts 11:26). Traditionally, Saint Peter established the church in Antioch, and was the city's first bishop. Ignatius of Antioch (martyred c.107) was bishop of the city, and a prominent apostolic father. By the 4th century, the bishop of Antioch had become the most senior bishop in the region (covering modern day eastern Turkey, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Iran). The Antiochene church became a centre of Christian learning, second only to Alexandria. Antiochene theology was greatly influenced by Rabbinic Judaism and other modes of Semitic thought. However, the Christian community was linguistically divided between Hellenized, Greek-speakers, who lived in the west, and Syriac and Aramaic-speakers to the east. As the Hellenized party leaned more and more towards the newly Christian Roman Empire, those further east found themselves alienated. The church became divided by the Nestorian Schism, when Antiochene christology as understood in other parts of church was condemned by the Council of Ephesus in 431. The Assyrian Church of the East came to represent those Syriac-speaking Christians living in the Persian Empire who sought to direct their affairs witout reference to the western churches. The School of Antioch then came under the influence of Alexandrian theology, this influence led to sections of the Syriac and Egyptian churches being condemned for monophysitism, the belief that Christ has one 'nature', at the Council of Chalcedon in 451. It is unlikely that many in either of these churches were extreme monophysites (see Eutyches and Apollinarism, and simply misunderstood the Byzantine position of two natures as proposing some kind of schizophrenia. Part of the problem was the translation of documents between Greek, Syriac and Coptic, and the growing fragmentation of Byzantine authority (the Patriarch of Antioch at Chalcedon (Maximus II) had been consecrated by the Patriarch of Constantinople without the necessary support of the Antiochene clergy). Around 469, Peter the Fuller was consecrated as Patriarch of Antioch after forcing the dismissal of his predecessor. He followed a popular, strong anti-Chalcedonian line. He added the words 'who was crucified for us' (Syriac deşţlevt ħlophain) to the Trisagion Hymn (Syriac Qadišat Aloho), as a test of anti-Chalcedonian faith. Peter the Fuller was deposed and restored to the See of Antioch three times, as the political landscape of the Byzantine Empire shifted back and forth. In 512, Severus of Antioch, another strong anti-Chalcedonian, was consecrated Patriarch of Antioch. He became the foremost theologian of the anti-Chalcedonian cause, and his works are held in high regard by Syriac Orthodox Christians to this day. In 518, he fled from Antioch to avoid arrest and banishment.

Old Article[edit]

The Syriac Orthodox Church (also Syrian Orthodox Church) is an autocephalous Christian church of Syria, Iraq, and India, recognizing the Syrian Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch as its spiritual head. It is in communion with the Coptic Church and other Oriental Orthodox churches. It is sometimes also called the Jacobite Orthodox Church after Jacob Baradaeus, a 6th century monophysite bishop.

File:PatriarchZakka5.jpg
HH Mor Ignatios Zakka I Iwas

The Syriac Orthodox Church is held to be the first church of the Christianity established by the Apostle St. Peter in 34 AD.

The head of this Syrian Orthodox Church is the Patriarch H.H. Moran Mor Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, who resides in Damascus, the capital of the Arameans. The Church has about 26 archdioceses and 11 Patriarchal Vicariates. Some estimate that the church has about four million members globally.

The Syrian orthodox divine liturgy is performed in Syriac.

Both it and the chalcedonian Antiochian Orthodox Church claim to be the sole legitimate church of Antioch and successor of the Apostle St. Peter. There are also three uniate churces headed by Patriarchs of Antioch: The Syrian Catholic Church, the Maronites and the Melkite Greek Catholic Church. There is also an unrelated (so called nestorian) Assyrian Church of the East.
