Sayfo

Isn't it most likely that the Shamsiyah largely disappeared as a result of the Sayfo? The article mentions a lot about their relations with Syriacs, but then just says "they were still living in Mardin during WW1 but then just kinda disappeared". Isn't it likely though that they would've also suffered the Sayfo alongside the Syriacs? Is there anything published on how the Sayfo would've affected the Shamsiyah?

No, they survived seyfo. There are still people alive who witnessed the last Shamshi in Mardin. The very last ones converted to the Yezidi religion in the 1960s. The women were known for their beauty and white clothing. The men were known for their large stature and large hands. They did not want to marry other believers and because of their bad experiences with Muslims they wanted nothing to do with them. Their front doors were always towards the sun and beautifully decorated. They did not call themselves Assyrians. 2A02:A45F:ADD7:1:6129:DCD1:751E:3AA5 (talk) 13:30, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
