In this video, I read snippets from and provide commentary on Ilana Cruger-Zaken's article "Recovering a Lost Language From the Mountains of Mesopotamia," published in New Lines Magazine. The article addresses her ancestry tying her to the Aramaic Jewish community from Zakho, Iraq that had populated the area until 1950. The Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialect from Zakho is part of the group of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic dialects.
The portions of the article covered are directly related to the content focus of this KZbin channel and are undertaken for scholarly, educational purposes.
