Synopsis

Grammar of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac offers a clear, expert look at how Eastern Syrians speak day to day. It explains their spoken language alongside the traditional classical Syriac used in worship and writing.

This reference work surveys the vernaculars of the Eastern Syrians in Kurdistan, Azerbaijan, and Mosul, tracing how speech has developed alongside script and liturgy. It also notes historical context and the efforts to document these dialects, making it a valuable resource for students, linguists, and readers curious about language variation in the region.


  • Clear descriptions of pronunciation, grammar, and usage across multiple dialects.

  • Discussion of how the vernacular relates to the classical Syriac in writing and worship.

  • Historical background on language development and the first attempts at writing the vernacular.

  • Notes on spelling, etymology, and the interaction of Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, and Arabic influences.



Ideal for readers of historical linguistics, Semitic languages, and Middle Eastern studies, as well as anyone curious about how a regional language evolves in daily life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
