Abstract:

This work is a detailed documentation of the Neo-Aramaic dialect spoken by
Assyrian Christians in the region of Urmi (northwestern-Iran). It consists of
four volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 are descriptions of the grammar of the dialect,
including the phonology, morphology and syntax. Volume 3 contains a study of
the lexicon, consisting of a series of lists of words in various lexical
fields and a full dictionary with etymologies. Volume 4 contains
transcriptions and translations of oral texts, including folktales and
descriptions of culture and history. The Urmi dialect is the most important
dialect among the Assyrian Christian communities, since it forms the basis of
a widely-used literary form of Neo-Aramaic.
