[edit] Mandarin
The claim that the Nestorian Stele is "written in both Mandarin and Syriac" appears to be false, it would be odd for a text from this period to be written in "Mandarin". The text of the stele appears to be in Classical Chinese, confirmed by the Chinese Wikisource of the stele text.
Someone should really fix the page so it doesn't look like a giant wall 'o text. Just sayin'...

[edit] Nestorians = Hebrews or Assyrians?
"The Nestorians were largely of Hebrew extraction, tracing their lineage to those who did not return to Palestine following the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. During the early centuries of Christian expansion, they considered the message of Jesus a fulfillment of their Jewish faith. Eventually, the Nestorians intermarried with other Syriac-speaking peoples east of the Euphrates and spread their faith throughout Turkestan, Mongolia, China and Japan." can someone please find a credible source for this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Malik Danno (talk • contribs) 04:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
