Maloula ASSYRIANS?

If we ever had a country our language should be called assyrian Aramaic, "Assyrian" for we are assyrians and speak East Aramaic, and aramaic cause we speak it.

We should be happy that everytime someone mention the oldest living languages, they mention Aramaic in the top 10.

So Syriac then lol? Syriac is the name denoting Eastern Aramaic because every other Eastern Aramaic dialect from that time is extinct. All modern eastern Aramaic dialects derive from Syriac + other obscure dialects.

People doesnt know what syriac is, Only assyrian and The famous Aramaic. Also, l would like to have the name Aramaic, because its famous.
 
I dont think suroyo/suraya means assyrian because maloula people call themselves suroy.... But l do believe they are Arameans and we are assyrians.

suroy/suroyo/suraya is an alternative or short form of "suryaya/suryoyo" which means "Syrian".
