The following is a '''list of current [[Chaldean people|Chaldean]] and towns and villages'''. A substantial number of Chaldeans in the Middle East live in cities and not rural areas because of events during the 20th century (see [[Chaldean genocide]].) These cities include [[Arbil]], [[Duhok, Iraq|Dohuk]], [[Mosul]], [[Baghdad]], [[Kirkuk]], [[Basra]], [[Tehran]], [[Urmia]], [[Aleppo]], [[Damascus]], [[Homs]] and [[Istanbul]]. Inhabitants of these villages and towns are Chaldean people who speak Chaldean Neo-Aramaic and follow primarily the [[Church of the East]], [[Chaldean Catholic Church]], [[Syriac Orthodox Church]], [[Syriac Catholic Church]] and [[Ancient Church of the East]]. Most are in northern [[Iraq]], northwestern [[Iran]], southeastern [[Turkey]] and northeastern [[Syria]], a region in and around the traditional and historic Chaldean homeland <Ref> Chaldea is the Native Chaldean Homeland</ref>.
