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 represent areal features that diffused among NA -speaking Jewish communities across extensive regions of NENA . Additionally, the article demonstrates that beyond typical Jewish NA traits and cross-correspondences with other NENA varieties, Sandu NA exhibits unique features as a distinctive dialect of NENA
