Suret Must Survive: Why Our Language Matters Now More Than Ever.

Suret is more than a language—it is the echo of an ancient civilization, the thread that weaves together scattered communities across continents. In Suret Must Survive, Onita M. Narso delivers a powerful call to action, reminding us that the survival of this Eastern Neo-Aramaic language is tied to the survival of a people, their stories, and their soul. From the lullabies sung in refugee tents to the prayers whispered in diaspora churches, Narso paints a vivid picture of a heritage on the brink. Yet, she also offers hope: revival is within reach if we choose to speak, teach, and cherish Suret—flaws and all. This is more than a linguistic movement; it is a cultural reclamation, a resistance to forgetting, and an invitation to remember who we are.
