the controversy is not restricted to exonyms like english "assyrian" vs. "aramean", but also applies to self-designation in neo-aramaic, the "aramean" faction from turkey and syria endorses both "sūryāyē" () and "ārāmayē" (), while the "assyrian" faction from iraq, iran, north east syria and southeast turkey insists on "āṯūrāyē" () but also accepts "sūryāyē" ().
