Syrian people
The Syrian people are the inhabitants and citizens of Syria.
Syrians are tied together by geography, linguistic heritage, religion, and similar Eastern Mediterranean ethnicities.
Most Syrians reside primarily in Syria; however 17 million Syrianslive outside of Syria and they stay connected to their cultural roots by watching Syrian satellite television, listening to Syrian music and preparing Syrian cuisine.Damascus, the capital of Syria, is one of the most continuously inhabited cities in the world (for 8000 years straight, Syrians have inhabited Damascus), and a large percentage of Damascenes are the descendants of the early inhabitants of Damascus.
