Texten från svenska Wikipedia
Kaldeiska kristna är utövare av kaldeisk-katolska kyrkan och bildar en undergrupp av det assyriska folket.[1][2][3][4][5][6] De har bosatt sig främst i Irak och Turkiet, och till den största delen, talar de kaldeisk nyarameiska. Ett före detta Nestorianskt samfund, blev de återförenade med romersk-katolska kyrkan år 1553. Kaldeiska assyrier är inte direkt eller absolut relaterade till Nybabyloniska imperiets "Kaldéer", men namnet kaldéer gavs av katolska kyrkan på 1500-talet för att skilja åt dem från utövare från österns apostoliska och katolska assyriska kyrka (även känt som Nestorianska kyrkan, efter Nestorius).

Strictly, the name of Chaldeans is no longer correct; in Chaldea proper, apart from Baghdad, there are now very few adherents of this rite, most of the Chaldean population being found in the cities of Kerkuk, Arbil, and Mosul, in the heart of the Tigris valley, in the valley of the Zab, in the mountains of Kurdistan. It is in the former ecclesiastical province of Ator (Assyria) that are now found the most flourishing of the Catholic Chaldean communities. The native population accepts the name of Atoraya-Kaldaya (Assyro-Chaldeans) while in the neo-Syriac vernacular Christians generally are known as Syrians.”

ImNin'alu.net. http://www.imninalu.net/myths-Arabs.htm. ”Akkadians, Assyrians and Arameans: These are the only peoples in this region that were fully and originally Semitic. The term Akkadians refers to the early historic period of the peoples that later were identified as Hebrews in Canaan and Assyrians in Mesopotamia, while the Arameans constituted the western branch of the same stock. Assyrians eventually split into two branches, of which the southern is more commonly known as Chaldeans or Babylonians. These peoples were NOT Arabs. The Assyrians became Christians in the first century c.e. and did never accept Islam, so they have been persecuted and the largest majority of them are still in exile, though there has been a permanent Assyrian presence in the area. They speak their own ancient language and their homeland is until now usurped by an Arab entity called Iraq. Consequently, since Assyrians still exist and are not Arabs, the Arab nationalists cannot ascribe an Arab identity to the ancient Semitic peoples of Mesopotamia.”
