Reference excerpt

Loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic came about mostly due to the contact between Assyrian people and Arabs, Persians, Kurds and Turks in modern history, and can also be found in the other dialects spoken by the Assyrian people such as Turoyo. Assyrian is one of the few languages where most of its foreign words come from a different language family (in this case, Indo-European). Unlike other Neo-Aramaic languages, Assyrian has an extensive number of latterly introduced Iranian loanwords. Depending on the dialect, Arabic loanwords are also reasonably present. Some Turkish loanwords are Turkified words that are of Arabic origin. To note, some of the loanwords are revised (or "Assyrianized") and therefore would sound somewhat different to the original word. Furthermore, some loanwords may also have a slightly different meaning from the original language.

List

Below is a list of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, separated into sections based on the source language. Notes:

The source language itself may have borrowed the word from another language. These are noted in the "notes" sections. Vowels are typically "long" in an open syllable and "short" in a closed syllable; exceptions are noted by macrons on long syllables and breves on short ones. Stress typically falls on the penultimate syllable (exceptions are noted by acute accents). Monosyllabic words are also typically stressed. Geminated consonants are represented by a doubled letter. On transliteration: ʾ represents a plain glottal stop: [ʔ]. ʿ represents a pharyngealized glottal stop: [ʔˤ]. ḥ represents a voiceless pharyngeal fricative: [ħ]. ġ represents a voiced velar fricative: [ɣ]. x represents a voiceless velar fricative: [x] or a voiceless uvular fricative: [χ]. q represents a voiceless uvular stop: [q]. ḳ represents an unaspirated voiceless velar stop: [k˭]. ṗ represents an unaspirated voiceless bilabial stop: [p˭]. ṣ represents a pharyngealized voiceless alveolar fricative: [sˤ]. š represents a voiceless postalveolar fricative: [ʃ]. ž represents a voiced postalveolar fricative: [ʒ]. ṯ represents a voiceless dental fricative: [θ]. ṭ represents a pharyngealized voiceless alveolar plosive: [tˤ]. j represents a voiced postalveolar affricate: [d͡ʒ]. č represents a plain voiceless postalveolar affricate: [t͡ʃ]. č̣ represents a pharyngealized voiceless postalveolar affricate: [t͡ʃˤ].

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic

In research: List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: List of loanwords in Assyrian Neo-Aramaic is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Arabic words and phrases, Arabization, Aramaic words and phrases, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
