Neo-Aramaic - Geoffrey Khan -

A presentation of the Neo-Aramaic dialects spoken by the Jewish communities of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq and Western Iran), which exhibit considerable diversity. They also notably differ from the Neo-Aramaic dialects of the Christians of the same region. All the Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects are now highly endangered. Even though they have deep historical roots, they not direct descendants of the Classical written forms of Aramaic.

Présentation du Cycle: Dès le début de la diaspora, les juifs vivaient dans un monde plurilingue. Dans la vie quotidienne, les juifs utilisaient les langues vernaculaires de leur entourage non-juif, souvent imprégnées du vocabulaire hébreu. Elles furent ensuite mises par écrit en caractères hébreux. Ce cycle de quinze conférences par des spécialistes de renommée internationale présente une partie de ces « judéo-langues » et la richesse de leur histoire et de leur tradition littéraire.
