This is Assyrian Aramaic, old Assyrian I understood few words only but I like it, nice

[@tFighterPilot]

It's not Assyrian Aramaic, it's Jewish Aramaic.

@@tFighterPilot Correct. The 2 languages are similar, not identical.

Isaiah 19:23-25 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing[a] on the earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.”

Thank you for this video. I had never heard of Najara, but I looked him up. Interesting musical document.

Nice song. It sounds Assyrian but I can’t make out the words. I speak Eastern Assyrian maybe the lyrics are closer to Western Assyrian?? Either way, lovely song.

[@JohnJE123]

My understanding is that Jewish Aramaic is a "Western" dialect, closer linguistically to Western Syriac (i.e., that used by the Lebanese Maronites) than the Syriac dialect of the Assyrians or Chaldeans of Iraq & Iran. I also assume that, because this song was written 400 years ago, not during Antiquity (when Aramaic was the lingua franca in the Fertile Crescent), when Aramaic was no longer the spoken language of the Jews that the language could have changed. The writer, Rabbi Israel Najara (z"l), would have been a native Arabic speaker.

It's a traditional Shabat zimrah. Beautiful: it makes my heart sing.

[@isserles]

The song is not written in any spoken dialect of Aramaic. It contains elements spanning the spectrum of Jewish literary Aramaic from the book of Daniel to the Talmud.

[@ישעיהובן-תורה]

@@JohnJE123 the song is in Aramaic which is very similar to Assyrian/Chaldean Aramaic dialects.

[@JohnJE123]

@@ישעיהובן-תורה Similar, perhaps, but wouldn't Jewish Aramaic be closer linguistically to the dialect of Syriac used by the Maronite Church of Lebanon, than dialects used further east, in Mesopotamia?

@@mustafa.bakes. But, hopefully, you can understand why ME/NA minorities like the Kurds, Amazigh (Berbers), Assyrians, Maronites, etc. are not as enthusiastic about the Palestinian Cause as Muslim Arabs. FWIW, I would NEVER say the f-word about Israel OR Palestine. I personally think that's dickwad behavior, and being part of the PROBLEM, not the solution.

[@zmail8566]

You see Jews praying and singing and you associate them with Palestine. This is why we have a problem with your people.
