9780282379728: A Dictionary of the Dialects of Vernacular Syriac (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

This exhaustive dictionary covers all major Eastern Syriac dialects, spoken by millions of people in North-Eastern Iraq, Eastern Anatolia, and the borderlands of Iran. The dictionary was compiled with the input of the local populace, using both oral interviews and existing manuscripts from the last few hundred years. It is the culmination of over five years of work by the author, drawing from his extensive travels and collaborations throughout the region, with the goal of preserving these diverse and interconnected languages. Crucially, the book is designed to help both Syriac speakers and non-Syriac linguists navigate the complexity of dialects that vary by small geographical regions.
