Chaldean is the name commonly given by the Chaldean Catholic Christian community of Iraq to their Neo-Aramaic language, often called Suret or Chaldean Neo-Aramaic. It's spoken by perhaps 200,000 people, with the largest US Chaldean community in metropolitan Detroit — particularly Sterling Heights, West Bloomfield, and Southfield, where the Chaldean diaspora has been growing for half a century. Our Chaldean translation work is concentrated around USCIS asylum and family-reunification paperwork, Iraqi civil documents (often in Arabic rather than Chaldean), and church records from Chaldean Catholic dioceses.
