Introduction

This small book handles both Classical Aramaic language and Modern Assyrian together as one in continuum, showing that classical Aramaic is fixed for prayers, psalms, hymns, and liturgy in general. The Aramaic is the language of the theology and the mysteries of the first Christianity in Mesopotamia. Whereas, Modern Assyrian Language : Dialects: Chaldo –Syrio-Assyrian language is the language of the people in which all Mesopotamians speak at home as natives i.e., members of the family automatically switch their country language into their specific language of the Mesopotamians known as “Sorith” : The Modern Assyrian Language. In my simple comparison as sound system, grammar, and lexicon , I come to the conclusion that these 2 types of Language are living in continuum, though the Modern Assyrian language (Sorith) is becoming more and more the language of secular Literature i.e., songs, poetry, folklores, conferences etc. Modern Assyrian language is not fixed and is changeable and it differs from church denominational synagogues and parishioners to the others; nevertheless, it is comprehensible and considered one as we change it to be the language of our Assyrian nation for all walks of life. For more details you can go to Matti’s books: Lishana Suryaya (2003); Chaldo-Syrio-Assyrian Language (2011); and Phillips Collegiate Modern Assyrian Lexicon (unpublished yet).

This material may be helpful for those students who are interested in both languages to continue their studies as Master or Ph.D. , assisting scholars with some well-put translation of expressions in the classical Aramaic language.

When comparing the classical Aramaic with the Modern Assyrian language, it is clear that plural in the

Modern Assyrian Language has become one for both masculine and feminine . Some dialects have

taken the /o/ or /e:/ vowel within the morphs as suffixes ( inflections) - okhon, or -e:ke:n regardless of

the gender . No syamme : two dots of the plural imarker are not needed in the modern Assyrian

language. No zlame rakeekhi (e:) are needed. Ptakha is reduced to where the consonant is doubled

when it is used; otherwise, zqapa is enough. The diacritics are less in the Modern Assyrian language .

Certain Modern Assyrian dialects add even extra khon or khe:n

1. ?akhnan + e:khin : We عصضصع اسعع = اس

2. ?akhton + akhtokhon: you plural for bothgenders اسىرع = اسىرضرع

Due to the geographical separation plus church denomination as boycotting talking to each other over

long period of times, every dialect has reduced the suffix from a long inflection into a shorter one

differently ; nevertheless, all agree upon the fact that plural has become one .

Compare

Kthawane:hi = their books (ع) ضىبعصذه

Kthawae:hi = their book ع( ضىبصذه(

Mathwathe:hi = their cities ( ع) ظىرىصذه

Maathe:hi = their city )ظىصذه )ع

“Their” refers to both gender masculine and feminine

We see that contractions in the Modern Assyrian language go in different ways, but whatever is left is a

part of the full-morpheme in the classical Aramaic used as a new smallest meaningful unit added as

suffixes to convey the same meaning .

In the Classical Aramaic :

Plural/past

Katbe:n= ktolay e: in the classical Aramaic refers to gender as feminine Katbon = ktolon o: in the classical Aramaic language refers to gender as masculine . In the Modern Assyrian: Plural/past Lon / lay refers to plural as number but not gender. They are for both Zilon/ zilay/ zilna = they left / travelled
