 | | Nationality, to us, was in its early developments during the latter parts of 19th century, where most of the work of the Catholics like Mar Toma Audo, Alphonse Mangana, Mar Eugene Manna, Mar Addai Scher, and others was done. |
 | | At that time, and because of that influence, the religious term Chaldeenne was given extra weight, just as the Nestorian religious term was, in the absence of the national title. |
 | | There is no doubt at all that what was meant in reality, as the Syriac original term indicated, was the known then "Suryayeh" people and the "Soorith" langauge, which these writers knew from their fathers and grandfathers. |
