Adeh, Urmia

Adeh (Persian: اده, Syriac: ܥܕܐ, also Romanized as Ādeh; also known as Ada and Ādeh-ye Bozorg)[1] is a village in Tala Tappeh Rural District, Nazlu District, Urmia County, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. The name Ada is believed to come from a Turkish word meaning "island," which itself is a Turkification of the village's previous name, Jazarta, meaning "island" in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic.[2] In the 2006 census, its population was noted to be 151, in 41 families.[3] As of 2014, there were only 3 Assyrian families remaining in Ada, down from 700 Assyrian families prior to the Assyrian genocide.[4]

The village was exclusively inhabited by Assyrians until the Assyrian genocide. There are four Assyrian churches in the village: Mar Daniel (which is said to have been built in the 4th century), Mart Maryam, Mar Youkhanna, and an Assyrian Presbyterian Church. In addition, the village has a "Shotapoota," or Assyrian community center, and is known for its festival of Mar Daniel (shara d'Mar Daniel).[5]

gollark: That's not entirely true. If we force everyone to use a strongly typed language for interaction, we could enforce MANY invariants.
gollark: That would effectively be the case *anyway*.
gollark: They definitely do. Rules should be predictable and consistent.
gollark: #10 is of course fairly beeoidal, as ever, but you don't actually care about my opinion on it.
gollark: I would hope you don't actually combine the no-english with the claimed stricter enforcement, given that people like discussing Toki Pona and such.
