What are Semitic Christians Referred To In Their Region - abudar2000 - 09-29-2008

shlomo lkhoon,

This might be of interest to people on this forum:

In Lebanon, as well as in surrounding countries, we refer to ourselves as "msheeHoyo/msheeKHaya"
The Muslims in our area refer to us a "nasariye", at least until a few decades ago.

The word "krisTyono" isn't used by those who left the Syriac Tradition in favour of the Greek Tradition.
