The <a href="/wiki/Culture_of_Syria" title="Culture of Syria">cultural</a> and linguistic heritage of the Syrian people is a blend of both indigenous elements and the foreign cultures that have come to rule the land and its people over the course of thousands of years. By the seventh century, most of the inhabitants of the Levant spoke <a href="/wiki/Aramaic" title="Aramaic">Aramaic</a>. In the centuries after the <a href="/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_the_Levant" title="Muslim conquest of the Levant">Muslim conquest of the Levant</a> in 634, Arabic became the dominant language, but a minority of Syrians retained <a href="/wiki/Neo-Aramaic_languages" title="Neo-Aramaic languages">Aramaic (Syriac)</a>, which is still spoken in its <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Aramaic_languages" title="Eastern Aramaic languages">Eastern</a> and <a href="/wiki/Western_Aramaic_languages" title="Western Aramaic languages">Western</a> dialects. The national name "Syrian" was used in <a href="/wiki/Classical_antiquity" title="Classical antiquity">antiquity</a> to denote the inhabitants of the Levant. Following the Muslim conquest of the Levant, Arab identity became dominant and the ethnonym "Syrian" was used mainly by Christians who spoke Syriac. In the 19th century, the name "Syrian" was revived amongst the Arabic speakers of the Levant. Following the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Arab_Kingdom_of_Syria" title="Arab Kingdom of Syria">Arab Kingdom of Syria</a> in 1920, the name "Syrian" began to spread amongst its Arabic speaking inhabitants. The term gained more importance during the <a href="/wiki/Mandate_for_Syria_and_the_Lebanon" title="Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon">Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon</a>, becoming the accepted national name for the Arabic speakers of the Syrian Republic. Most Arabic speaking Syrians identify as Arabs. There is no contradiction between being an Arab and a Syrian since the Syrian Arab identity is multi-layered and being Syrian complements being Arab. In addition to denoting Syrian Arabs, the term "Syrian" also refer to all Syrian citizens, regardless of their ethnic background. In 2018, Syria had an estimated population of 19.5 million, which includes, aside from the aforementioned majority, <a href="/wiki/Kurds_in_Syria" title="Kurds in Syria">Kurds</a>, <a href="/wiki/Assyrians_in_Syria" title="Assyrians in Syria">Assyrians</a>, <a href="/wiki/Syrian_Turkmen" title="Syrian Turkmen">Turks</a>, <a href="/wiki/Armenians_in_Syria" title="Armenians in Syria">Armenians</a> and others.

Quote:1-"We show that religious affiliation had a strong impact on the genomes of the Levantines. In particular, conversion of the region's populations to Islam appears to have introduced major rearrangements in populations' relations through admixture with culturally similar but geographically remote populations, leading to genetic similarities between remarkably distant populations like Jordanians, Moroccans, and Yemenis. Conversely, other populations, like Christians and Druze, became genetically isolated in the new cultural environment. We reconstructed the genetic structure of the Levantines and found that a pre-Islamic expansion Levant was more genetically similar to Europeans than to Middle Easterners." 2-"The predominantly Muslim populations of Syrians, Palestinians and Jordanians cluster on branches with other Muslim populations as distant as Morocco and Yemen." 3-Lebanese Christians and all Druze cluster together, and Lebanese Muslims are extended towards Syrians, Palestinians, and Jordanians, which are close to Saudis and Bedouins." </li> <li id="cite_note-CIA_-_TWF-132"><a href="#cite_ref-CIA_-_TWF_132-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/syria/">"The World Factbook"</a>.
