Synopsis
Explore the living speech of Eastern Syrians across Kurdistan, Pers ia, and Mosul. This scholarly dictionary collects vernacular Syriac dialects, including notes from Urmi, Zakhu, Azerbaijan, Tur Abdin, and Ma‘lula, with practical observations from field work and historical references. It presents a broad collection of dialect forms, illustrated by regional variation and cross-dialect comparisons, to help readers understand how the language is spoken on the ground.
The volume situates the dialects within four main geographic groups, describing local features, sound changes, and transitional forms. It also acknowledges earlier linguistic work and the sources used to build the dictionary, offering a window into the methods of field linguistics from the period.
