ISBN10: 3447045574, ISBN13: 9783447045575, [publisher: Otto Harrassowitz] Softcover Dialects of Amidya, Dihok, Nerwa and Zakho, northwestern Iraq. Based on old and new manuscripts, oral and written bible translations, folkloric texts, and diverse spoken registers, with an introduction to grammar and semantics, and an index of Talmudic words which have reflexes in Jewish Neo-Aramaic. This dictlonary is an effort to document the vocabulary of Jewish Neo-Aramaic in all its written and oral registers. The documentation includes: (a) context references, whenever possible, to all words in the written sources, and most of the oral ones; (b) cognates in older Eastern Aramaic, especially Syriac and Babylonian (Talmudic) Jewish Aramaic; (c) in the case of the numerous loanwords, the source of each, be it Arabic, Hebrew, Kurdish Persian, Turkish etc. Jewish Neo-Aramaic was used by Jewish communities in the remote and inaccessible areas of Kurdistan. In the early 1950s, practically all the Jewish communities of Iraqi Kurdistan, with the rest of the Jews of Iraq, emigrated en masse to Israel and the Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects spoken by them have been almost entirely superseded by Hebrew.

It has an extensive introduction, including a brief history of the Jewish dialects and their relations to older Aramaic, detailed observations on orthography, phonology, morphology, semantics, and other related grammatical features, that will serve the users well. The source for each word is indicated, including context quotations when necessary. A special effort was made to trace the origin of each and every word, be it native (classical and Talmudic Aramaic, Syriac etc.), or a loan word (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Kurdish, Turkish, general European). The Dictionary includes an index to all the Jewish Babylonian Aramaic words which have cognates or reflexes in Jewish Neo-Aramaic, a very important tool for the history of comparative linguistic studies of Aramaic. The Dictionary will be useful for scholars of Neo-Aramaic as well as classical and Talmudic Aramaic and Syriac, Semitic Languages, Jewish Languages, Languages in Contact, and other Near Eastern Languages in general. It is the first scholarly dictionary of Jewish Neo-Aramaic, and is intended to be a linguistic monument to the community that spoke it for many centuries until its emigration to Israe ...
