How to write this in Assyrian?

basima raba raba malpana myaqra Carlo! :) Ah, You are one of these Assyrians who make every letter "rakikha" which You can make "rakikha" ? I like letters rakikhe but not if every of these letters becomes rakhikha. We have in western Assyrian letters rakikhe too but not every of these letters is rakikha.

La daqra, khonee. :)

Not all of them are rakeekhe, no. Often times the letter will change based on how you change the word. The word I say for "city" is "mdhee(n)ta" (hard taw), but the plural of that is mdheenatha (soft taw). There's also "brata" ("girl") vs. "bnatha" ("girls). But I also say "chalba" instead of "chalwa" for "dog."

Okay, because the next generations of assyrians can't speak it. Oh look English is now third most spoken language!

Actually, that may be a good thing in the long run.

Reason why is because Assyrians who lack their language will eventually want to learn their language.

It will present a great opportunity to teach them Classical Syriac, our pure and unmodified language when we were still at the top of our game in medieval period Middle East.
