Well my father is from the northern part of Iraq, near Kurdistan where there are a lot of Christians, he told me the town where he was from but I forgot the name. I'd have to ask him but it's called something like Alkush I think? However my mother is originally from Baghdad. They left in the 90s along with a bunch of my other relatives on both sides of my family when Saddam Hussein was still in power.
>Also do you speak Syriac fluently?
Haha no. But here is the Lord's Prayer in Syriac:
Abun d-bashmayo
nithqadash shmokh
tithe malkuthokh
nehwe sebyonokh
aykano d-bashmayo oph bar o
hab lan lahmo d-sunqonan yowmono
washbuq lan hawbayn wahtohayn
aykano doph hnan shbaqan l-hayobayn
lo talan l-nesyuno
elo paso lan men bisho
metul d-dylokh hi malkutho
whaylo wteshbuhto
l'olam 'olmin
Amin

Chaldeans are Assyrians, my father is Chaldean and my mother in Syriac, both Catholics (although there are also Syriac Orthodox in my mother's family) and I was baptized and raised in my mother's Church.
