Usage notes
Traditionally used, originally as an exonym, as a term of self-identification with no negative connotation by the members of the Church of the East and sometimes by members of the Chaldean Catholic Church. This usage has been effectively replaced by ܐܵܬ݂ܘܿܪܵܝܵܐ (āṯōrāyā), though supporters of Assyrian nationalism prefer its application to Assyrians of all churches.
