Alqosh
Alqosh is one of the most famous Christian villages in Iraq.
Its residents are of Chaldean descent, and have spread widely around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe. Nearby villages to the mountainous Alqosh, including Batnaya and Tulkeiph , speak a similar, but distinguishable language known as Assyrian.
Located approximately 40km northeast of Mosul (Nineveh), Alqosh is thought to have existed for thousands of years, and its residents have been known to be mentioned in the Bible. Monasteries located in Iraq are over hundreds of years old, and Rabban Hormiz Monastery is an example.
