The Recently Extinct Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Sandu and Its Dialectal Affiliations
This article examines salient features of the little-known Jewish Neo-Aramaic ( NA ) dialect of Sandu (northern Iraq). These features are presented in the context of establishing the dialectological position of Sandu NA as part of the Barzani-Sandu, or Central Jewish NA , subgroup of NENA . Various isoglosses that connect Sandu NA to other Jewish NENA varieties, primarily Barzani and Lishana Deni, are presented. Some of these isoglosses likely re…
Neo-Aramaic as a source of hitherto unattested Aramaic words and meanings
The spectrum of Neo-Aramaic languages and dialects, spoken in an arch of language-islets that stretch from south-western Syria to south-western Iran, exhibits rich lexical repositories inherited from early layers of the Aramaic language. Within this wealthy lexical legacy, some genuine Aramaic lexical items are not attested in any of the literary Aramaic sources, hence it is only by virtue of these modern lexical manifestations that the existence…
Conversational Text in the Neo-Mandaic Dialect of Ahvaz
Neo-Mandaic is among the rarest and most seriously endangered languages of the world. Two extant Neo-Mandaic dialects, those of the cities of Ahvaz and Khorramshahr in southwestern Iran, are spoken by a few hundred adherents of Mandaeism, an indigenous gnostic religion of Lower Mesopotamia. Previous transcribed texts in the dialect of Ahvaz mostly deal with Mandaean culture and include Classical Mandaic vocables that are not used in the vernacula…
Akkadian substrate words and meanings surfacing in Neo-Aramaic
The present article concerns twelve cases of Akkadian lexical influences on Aramaic that are not manifest until the modern period. These are added to several cases already discussed in scholarly works, and include ten substrate words and two loan translations, all in North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic ( NENA ), and in one case of loan translation apparently also in Western Neo-Aramaic (assuming a westward diffusion of the innovation involved). As most Akk…
Further Jewish Neo-Aramaic Innovations
The present article presents new findings related to Jewish Neo-Aramaic ( JNA ) innovations in the framework of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic ( NENA ). The dialectal spectrum of JNA is so wide and variegated, that some geographically distant JNA varieties are markedly different from each other on all levels of language structure. Despite this great heterogeneity, the JNA dialects share supra-regional features that bind these varieties together to the…
Jewish Neo-Aramaic Innovations
The present article concerns salient Jewish Neo-Aramaic ( jna ) innovations in the framework of North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic ( nena ). jna is such a wide spectrum of varieties that in some cases geographically distant dialects are fundamentally different from each other on all levels of language structure and are mutually incomprehensible. Nevertheless, all these dialects share some typical or unique traits which transcend dialectal boundaries and b…
Neo-Aramaic and its Linguistic Context
This volume contains papers on the Eastern Neo-Aramaic dialects and the languages in contact with them. The papers make important contributions to the documentation of the dialects and to the understanding of their development in the context of non-Semitic contact languages.
The Change of ɻɻ to dd in Ṭyare Neo-Aramaic
The change of a rhotic consonant into a voiced dental one is unique to some dialects of Ṭyare Neo-Aramaic amongst all other Aramaic and Semitic languages. It is a conditioned change, operating only on the Ṭyare retroflex rhotic phoneme /ɻ/ and only when the latter is geminated, whereas the two other rhotic phonemes of the Ṭyare cluster of dialects, alveolar /r/ and emphatic alveolar /ṛ/ , are left unaffected. The diachronic background of Ṭyare ɻɻ…
Trans-Zab Jewish Neo-Aramaic
The present article seeks to describe a major group of Jewish North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) dialects located across the Great Zab river in the eastern and south-eastern parts of the dialectological map of NENA, hence the term "Trans-Zab Jewish Neo-Aramaic" ("Trans-Zab", for short) chosen for this dialect group. A large set of phonological, morphophonological, morphological and lexical innovations, shared by all members of this group, is presen…
Features of the Verbal System in the Christian Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Koy Sanjaq and Their Areal Parallels
Hezy Mutzafi, Features of the Verbal System in the Christian Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Koy Sanjaq and Their Areal Parallels, Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 124, No. 2 (Apr. - Jun., 2004), pp. 249-264
Two texts in Barzani Jewish Neo-Aramaic
In this article I offer two versions of the Kurdistani folk-tale 'Khajo and Syabando' in Barzani Jewish Neo-Aramaic, one of the rarest and most highly endangered modern Aramaic languages, spoken in Israel by no more than twenty elderly Jews from the regions of Barzan and ʕAqra in Iraqi Kurdistan. Three dialects of this language were discovered during the years 1996-2000: Barzan, Shahe and B[ecy ]jil. The latter dialect is already extinct. The nar…
