Sureth is the term commonly used by the indigenous Assyrian Christian populations of Iraq, Syria, and Southeastern Turkey to refer to the various dialects of the Neo-Aramaic language spoken in those areas. In Iran, the word Suraya or Suryaya is often heard instead. The number of its speakers is estimated to range from 500,000 to two million people. The term Swadaya (which means "conversational" or "vernacular") can also be found, in contrast to the word Sapraya (which means "literary").

- Sureth is the term commonly used by the indigenous Assyrian Christian populations of Iraq, Syria, and Southeastern Turkey to refer to the various dialects of the Neo-Aramaic language spoken in those areas. In Iran, the word Suraya or Suryaya is often heard instead. The number of its speakers is estimated to range from 500,000 to two million people. The term Swadaya (which means "conversational" or "vernacular") can also be found, in contrast to the word Sapraya (which means "literary"). In the area called Tur Abdin (to the west of the Sureth speaking area), the local language is called Turoyo. When they want to distinguish their languages between each other Sureth/Swadaya and Surayt/Turoyo speakers use the terms Madinkhaya (respectively Madenhoyo in Turoyo) meaning "Eastern (dialect)" and Ma'irwaya (respectively Ma'erboyo) meaning "Western (dialect)".
- Le soureth est un dialecte de l'araméen, une langue sémitique parlée aujourd’hui par les communautés chrétiennes et ethniques Assyro-Chaldéenne-Syriaques d’Irak, d’Iran, de Syrie et du sud-est de la Turquie. Le nombre de ses locuteurs, dans ces régions et dans le monde entier, varie, selon les estimations, entre 500 000 et deux millions de personnes.
