2023 October 30, Frank Timmers, “Twentse Suryoye willen met sprookjesboek het Aramees doorgeven aan jonge generatie: ‘De taal bevat onze identiteit, onze geschiedenis, onze cultuur’ [Twente Suryoye want to pass on Aramaic to younger generation with book of fairy tales: ‘The language contains our identity, our history, our culture’]”, in Tubantia, retrieved 18 July 2024:„Met elk overlijden van een oudere Suryoyo verdwijnen er verhalen en een stukje van de taal”, zegt Yawsef Kangus. Daarom moeten de verhalen worden opgeschreven, liefst tweetalig: in het Suryoyo (ofwel Aramees) en in het Nederlands. (...) Suryoye zijn de Syrisch-orthodoxe christenen van wie velen uit het Midden-Oosten zijn gevlucht tijdens de Armeense genocide vanaf 1915 tijdens het Ottomaanse Rijk. Een grote Suryoye-gemeenschap woont in Twente.- ‘With every death of an elderly Suryoyo, stories and a piece of the language disappear,’ says Yawsef Kangus. This is why the stories should be written down, preferably bilingually: in Suryoyo (or Aramaic) and in Dutch. (...) Suryoye are Syriac Orthodox Christians, many of whom fled the Middle East during the Armenian genocide from 1915 onwards during the Ottoman Empire. A large Suryoye community lives in Twente.
