Jewish Neo-Aramaic

- This short film by Alan Niku offers a brief introduction to Jewish Neo-Aramaic, spoken by Jews in the Kurdish region of Iraq, Iran, and Turkey. The language is related to the ancient Aramaic language of the Talmud, some prayers, and parts of the Bible, but it differs due to historical developments and influences from local languages like Persian, Kurdish, Arabic, and Turkish. Jewish dialects are often more similar to each other than to local Christian Aramaic dialects. Today, Jewish Neo-Aramaic is endangered, as most speakers moved to Israel, the US, and other regions and did not pass their mother tongue along to their children. This film includes clips of conversation and song and images of Jews from the Kurdish region.

Ktav Ashuri (Hebrew: כְּתָב אַשּׁוּרִי, ktav ashurí "Assyrian script"; also Ashurit) is the traditional Hebrew language name of the Hebrew alphabet, used to write both Hebrew and Jewish Babylonian Aramaic. It is also sometimes called the "square script", the term is used to distinguish the Ashuri script from the Paleo-Hebrew script.
FASCINATING!!!!!!!!
You are incorrect at 3:00. Most of the dialects spoken by Jews are mutually intelligible with the Assyrian Aramaic spoken. it's usually only Sandaj Aramaic that is different.
No they are not
yes, they are.. I'm also Assyrian and I can understand Jews who speak my language without ANY problems@@generalkhalid1192
As a Jew, I LOVE THE ASSYRIANS! My best friend is Assyrian ❤
I wouldnt at all be surprised if the Assyrian Christians and Aramaic Jews of the Northern Iraq/ Urmia region mixed together. There is so much in common between the two - language and customs alike
I got my DNA test done and it says I am Assyrian and equally a genetic match with Jews of Iraq, Iran and Kurdistan (what was once ancient Assyria). So yes, your hunch or intuition on this matter is spot on.
@@rrtvoxdo you know türkisch, kurdisch.
@@rrtvox What is your Haplogroup ?
Jews and suryoyo christians have a great amount of shared DNA

Iran! The Zionists name to Ancient Persia, where they are Jews from the time of Darius The Great.
Plus the most beautyfull ancient churches and Monasteries thastill exist.
Free to go to Israel and free to come back, that"s why (Zionists) want to Nuke Iran.
Thanks for the information 🙏 ❤️
They are Assyrian, not Kurdish regions. The Jews in that region have lived amongst Assyrians prior to Kurds living there!
Not assyrian
Assyrians are from South iraq this land is Kurdish
@@-3ccis534 and Kurds are from Iran, not from Iraq
@@VanWilshere2134 I said the truth semitie you don't belong to this lands
@VanWilshere2134 Read the history, many theories exist. All of them suggest Kurds are linked to the Toros-Zagros mountsins. So I don't know where you've drived your narritve from.
This is Assyrian propaganda. There are many Kurdish Jews in Israel who identify themselves as Kurds also they can speak Kurdish clrearly they have famous Kurdish singer in Isreal .You should know one of the Kurdish queen became Judaism her name is Helena Hezbani also Kurds people following meny diffreent religons like Ezidi,Elewi,Yaresan,Zoroastrian,also Islam and Judaism and you should Know Arabic related to Sami language but most of them are Muslim!!!!
Very interesting. I was able to understand some of those words
So speakers of jewish neo-aramaic could not communicate with spekers of assyrian neo-aramaic even though they lived in the same city? Sounds very weird to me, never seen a video of a jewish aramaic speaker that sounds very different from Assyrian speakers of aramaic, having different dialects is normal even among assyrians but speaking with each other is not that difficult. Assyrians and Jews from that region even place extremely close to each other in DNA tests, jews from that region are much closer to assyrians than they are to kurds or other groups of jews.
Yes they cant, it is the same between ethnic kurds in Halabja city surroundings. They speak sorani kurdish or gorani kurdish which are really different but both people will identify as stubborn kurds. The region is all chaos
I believe that is wrong, Assyrians converted to Judaism especially in the historical nation of Adiabene

dude... that's the second time you comment that Assyrians do not understand the aramaic of Jews.. You are absolutely WRONG. We understand EVERYTHING they say.. It is the same language buddy.. @@generalkhalid1192
@@SanharibAgreed! My dad is Chaldean. I have listened to Jews from Zakho and their Aramaic is nearly identical to the Christians from the same area.
This is fascinating! Wouldn't Aramaic and Hebrew be the languages of the Jewish Diaspora(s)?
There are many languages of the Jewish Diaspora(s). You can learn more on our website: www.jewishlanguages.org/
Let’s hear it for Yiddish!
Being part Jewish I always wondered what languages some of my ancestors spoke I mean they didn't start out speaking Yiddish or Russian they must have spoke Greek and or Aramaic at one time maybe even Persian languages who knows
Forschen sie nach das ist sehr wichtig
Just Ashurit
Where can I find the birthday song?
Aramaic originated from Syria so those dialects in Iraq are Assyrian influenced or a hybrid between other languages
Aramit (Jewish Aramaic) speakers, Jews from the land of Assyria (Isaiah 27:13), have nothing to do with the Kurds, neither in language, nor in religion, nor in ethnicity, nor in culture, nor in land. The Kurdish conquerors made every effort to exterminate the Aramaic language in the occupied land of Assyria. The only non-Jewish nation that speaks Aramaic is the Assyrian nation. The Jews are related to the Assyrians, Chaldeans and Syrians in the Aramit-Ashurit (Assyrian Aramaic) language, of Semitic origin, and belief in the Bible. That is why this video distorts reality and tells the public a story that did not exist in the Jewish history. The real story can be found in Dr. Yaacov Maoz's book, "Jerusalem and Nineveh" in Hebrew. It will be released soon also in an English edition. Long live Assyria and long live Israel!
In that day shall Israel
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יִשְׂרָאֵל
be the third with Egypt and with Assyria
שְׁלִישִׁיָּה לְמִצְרַיִם וּלְאַשּׁוּר
a blessing in the midst of the earth
בְּרָכָה בְּקֶרֶב הָאָרֶץ.
for that the LORD of hosts
hath blessed him, saying:
אֲשֶׁר בֵּרֲכוֹ ה' צְבָאוֹת לֵאמֹר:
Blessed be Egypt My people
בָּרוּךְ עַמִּי מִצְרַיִם
and Assyria the work of My hands
וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדַי אַשּׁוּר
and Israel Mine inheritance
וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל (ישעיה יט כד-כה).
These people YOU call Assyrian have NOTHING to do with Assyrians. They were Aramaic speaking Nestorian Christians, were called Aramaic, who got labelled "Assyrian" by Britian in WWI to fight for them against Ottomans and theh DID so. Britain used them, Renamed them. Still other Aramaic Chrisrians NEVER accept them as "Assyrian". Assyrians spoke AKKADIAN, not Aramaic, and DIED OUT in 612 BC. GO ignorant one, read the book: "Arameans and the Making of Assyrian". This self-proclaimed " new Assyrian" delusional people are Not Assyrians, never been and will Never be. Go mind your own business and dont follow the words of some LOSER Pizza sellers in Europe.
What's the name of the Aramaic song in the beginning?

@@Holy_Oracles_2 Chaldean is not a different ethnicity or whatevers in fact the word Chaldean isn't even in our language it's Latin Greek meaning astronomers in biblical aramiac and Hebrew it's kshedim or shide literally meaning demon's
They speak as well obviously but it's heavily influenced by Arabic unlike Assyrians from South turkey
Assyrian/Chaldeans and Syriacs are one people who speak the Aramaic language. There are other people Like the jews or the mandeans that speak neo-aramaic Dialects too...

it is my understanding that Aramaic was more elite then ordinary Hebrew anyone have a response?
Back in the days(2,000+ years ago) Aramaic in the Middle East was like English to the whole world today.

Not quite, biblical Arahmaic is slightly different from their dialect
Its surat assyrian language and gas nothing to do with no Kurdish.and the people in zakho mix assyrian with Arabic..your facts are wrong. Sorry and stop saying Kurdish..only the people that were scared to say assyrian so they said Kurdish not to get killed by the Kurds so 89 years later they think they are kurdy but they are not ....and lisha deain means our language in assyrian .its not a language it's just words in assyrian
My grandparents are jews from Zakho. And we are kurds! We have a big kurdish-jewish community and never once have anyone mentioned Assyrian.

Hebrew was reconstructed when it was found to have parallel with Arabic. Else the language was lost.

10 lost tribes became Kurdish Israelites
I urge you not to insult the Semites, can’t say that about the kurds though 😁
It’s only considered Kurdish because that was the latest nation to occupy that region but in actuality the lost tribes you speak of were technically in Assyria.
Chaldeans nestorians arameans are Kurdish christians
Assyrians/Chaldeans are genetically different to Kurdish people
People seem to confuse Kurdish region which was once Assyria with the actual ethnicity of Kurdistan. That is completely different from the Assyrians. However they inhabited the similar area so that’s why people get confused or mix it up.
@@denkoxh8610 To which Haplogroup belongs ?
Did the lost tribes got the similar " Torah " which is similar to the present day "Torah " ?
