Thirdwoe Wrote:Shamasha, is this the same as what is used in the liturgies of the Church of the East? or perhaps what is spoken as the daily language among Assyrians of the COE?

Hi Akhi
It's really just the daily vernacular, the modern koine Assyrian people speak today.
Most parishes retain the ancient Aramaic liturgy. Other parishes Targum/translate portions into Neo-Aramaic. Some even mix the two, having certain portions in ancient and other portions in modern.
