The Assyrian Language

• Assyrian Neo-Aramaic is a modern version of the ancient Aramaic language, which was once widely spoken across the Near East.
• It is primarily spoken by the Assyrian people, an ethnic minority originating from regions now part of Iraq, Turkey, Iran, and Syria.
• Assyrian uses the Syriac script, a derivative of the Aramaic alphabet, and faces challenges of diminishing fluency among younger generations.

About Artarmon

Artarmon is a suburb on the lower North Shore of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 9 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Willoughby. In 1794 and 1796, land grants were given to soldiers and emancipists west of Artarmon railway station to encourage farming. The most important farm was owned by William Gore (1765–1845) who was the provost-marshal under Governor William Bligh. Gore received a grant of 150 acres (0.61 km2) in 1810 and named it Artarmon after his family estate in Ireland. Gore Hill is named after him. The Chatswood South Uniting Church, located at the corner of Mowbray Road and the Pacific Highway, was designed by Thomas Rowe and built in 1871. A sandstone church in the Gothic style, it features a small belfry flanking the eastern front of the building. Immediately to the west is a small cemetery, with graves going back to 1871. The building was extended in 1883 and 1930; it is now listed on the Register of the National Estate. The cemetery is listed by the National Trust and is known as the Pioneer's Memorial Reserve.
