The Nestorian legacy lives on in the Church of the East although by now they've renounced some of the elements which could be deemed 'Nestorian'. Their vestments and imagery are taken straight out of ancient Assyrian culture just like most other churches adapted some of their pre-Christian imagery.

Also their liturgical dialect of Syriac is the most conservative of the two dialects, the other used by the Syrian Orthodox but ironically their pronunciation of Yeshua, 'Isho`' is less conservative.

They kept on preventing a new bishop from coming and when the last archbishop died they began to replace the native customs with the Latin rite. There was also a schism in the Church of the East around the time of the Portuguese arrival. West Syrian involvement and Anglican missions also contributed to the furthered partition of the Christian community.

Also the Pope established an East Syrian Rite in 1661 for St. Thomas Christians which helped keep many in their fold because uneducated plebs tend to love being able to keep their traditions while being oblivious to theology and in good standing with the party in power.
