Yes, they still exist and live in large communities across Northern Iraq, southeastern Turkey, eastern Syria and Israel. They have a population of over 4 million and speak their own unique language called Aramaic, which is very similar to Hebrew.

The people today who call themselves Assyrians are a Christian group in Northern Iraq and Southern Syria who are honest and gentle individuals. They are no longer bloodthirsty, ethnic cleansers like the Assyrians of 600 BCE and are, in fact, a repressed minority in the countries they inhabit.
