200,000 Christians including Aramaic speakers of Qaraqosh, Tel Kepe, and Karmalesh fled ISIS: Will Aramaic survive?

Qaraqosh, Tel Kepe, and Karamlesh are just three of the Iraqi towns on the Nineveh plains captured in early August by the Islamic State (IS), but they represent the last major concentration of Aramaic speakers in the world. Pushing northeast of Mosul towards Kurdistan, the jihadist army now occupies the ancient heart of Christian Iraq. According to U.N. officials, roughly 200,000 Christians fled their homes on the Nineveh plains on the night of Aug. 6, justifiably fearful that IS fighters would expel them, kill them, or force them to convert. A local archbishop, Joseph Thomas, described the situation as "catastrophic, a crisis beyond imagination."
Beyond the urgent humanitarian crisis lies a cultural and linguistic emergency of historic proportions.

Is the Islamic State Exterminating the Language of Jesus?

One of the last enclaves of native Aramaic Speakers is in danger of being wiped out. The people of this area have either left or are already dead if they were not Sunni Muslim Speakers of Aramaic already.
