The following is a list of Assyrian tribes indigenous to the regions of northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and northwestern Iran.
Turkey edit
Hakkari Region edit
Prior to their exile from the region during the Assyrian Genocide of 1915, the Assyrian communities in the Hakkari region of southeastern Turkey were comprised of two groups: the independent tribes, or ashirets, and the vassal communities, or rayyats.[1][2] Upon exile and dispersion from the region, Assyrians of both ashiret tribes and rayyat communities have kept their tribal and community identifications intact.[3]
