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 Dee Why

Dee Why /diːˈwaɪ/ is a suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia 18 kilometres north-east of the Sydney central business district. It is the administrative centre of the local government area of Warringah Council, and along with Brookvale is considered to be the main centre of the Northern Beaches region. The origin of the name of neighbouring Long Reef is obvious, but the reasons for Dee Why's name remain unclear. The earliest reference to it is a pencil note in surveyor James Meehan's field book, "Wednesday, 27th Sept, 1815 Dy Beach - Marked a Honey Suckle Tree near the Beach". What it meant to him was not recorded, although various claims have been put forward, including: From 1840 the name was recorded as one word, 'Deewhy', but was split in two during the 1950s[dubious – discuss]. The term 'Dee Why' was also used to name 'Dee Why Heights' or Highlands, known as Narraweena since 1951, and 'Dee Why West', the name of which was changed to Cromer in 1969.
