This incredible language finds itself endangered, struggling to survive in a modern world that often overlooks its historical and cultural significance. It's deeply disheartening to witness Duolingo, an esteemed platform that champions accessibility and language learning, introduce courses on fictional languages like Klingon and even offer lessons in dead languages such as Latin, while Assyrian remains ignored.

Assyrian, also known as Suret or Neo-Aramaic, boasts nearly a million native speakers and countless others seeking to reconnect with their roots. It is the language of the Bible, church texts, and the key to preserving the rich tapestry of Assyrian culture. This isn't merely an appeal for inclusion; it's an urgent call to preserve a critical piece of human heritage for future generations.

Creating an Assyrian language course on Duolingo would empower young Assyrians and individuals worldwide to learn this beautiful language for free, fostering an appreciation and understanding that transcends borders. An interactive and accessible course could reignite interest in Assyrian culture, allowing millions to rediscover their ancestry with dignity and pride.

We call upon Duolingo to acknowledge the importance of Assyrian, joining the efforts to breathe life into this remarkable language. By offering a structured course, Duolingo can actively participate in revival efforts and celebrate linguistic diversity in its truest form.

Sign this petition to urge Duolingo to develop an Assyrian language course and play a vital role in preserving an endangered heritage for generations to come.

And - Why are we urging Duolingo Specifically? Because when you hear "Language Learning App(s)" the first that comes to mind is Duolingo because people across the world use it.
