"Although uniting the children of one nation through their ancestral language..."

I don't have to go any farther than the first sentence to show how little Al-Jeeloo knows, or thinks. If there are assyrians alive today, their "ancestral" language is NOT Aramaic. That is the ancestral language of Arameans. Aramaic became the language of various Christians groups, just as Arabic became the language of non-Arabs who converted to Islam, as we converted to Christianity...Akkadian is "our" ancestral language...Akkadian is the "Assyrian" language "our" ancestors spoke.

And, as I showed you in that quote from Joseph in which he shows, again through quotes, that both Rassam and Layard KNEW we didn't speak "our ancestral language"...in fact Layard called Nesortians "Chaldeans", NOT Assyrians.

No actual scholar would have made this claim: that "our" ancestral language is Aramaic because they all know the actual Assyrians spoke Akkadian...but Al-Jeeloo would because it PLEASES all of you to think you have some connection to the ancient Assyrians...which you don't.
