Untitled[edit]

Since this was/is spoken in Kurdistan, I'm under the impression that the speakers were/are the Kurdish Jews/Jewish Kurds I keep hearing about.

Almost all of the speakers of this language now live in and around Jerusalem. However, the language was originally spoken around Bijil in Iraqi Kurdistan. To speak about Kurdish Jews is not quite correct, but Jews of Kurdistan may be more appropriate. What today we call Kurdistan, a rough area covering portions of a number of different recognised sovereign states, has quite a mixed demography, and this was even more pronounced up until the 20th century. --Gareth Hughes 21:33, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The name[edit]

The infobox says the native name is Lišānîd Jānān, but the Hebrew letters say לשניד דינן, which is the same name as given at Lishanid Noshan. —An gr 16:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What today we call Kurdistan was before called Assyria - and since these Jews speak Aramaic, why are they not Assyrian Jews? Another interesting note - the term "Barzani Targum" seems to be a new one - one could never find such a thing before a few years ago. "Nash Didan" meaning "Nasha'd Deeyan" or "Our People" in Assyrian language(Modern); "Lishan Didan" or "Leeshana Diyan" or "Our Language" in Assyrian Language (Modern). I appreciate the modern political need to make these areas Kurdish, but it is intellectually dishonest.

Another Note: Lishanid Janan and Lishanad Didan are both "Our Language (indeed, in modern Assyrian we say the same), but "Janan" implies "ourselves", whereas "Didan" literally means "ours". Waleeta (talk) 15:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is a nother means of Kurds hijacking identities. Hell, Im not even Middle Eastern but of German decent. These people should be called Babylonian Jews not Kurds. Kurds are not even Semetic, and are related to Pashtuns. One important note as well: There is no Kurdistan! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.3.160.55 (talk) 00:25, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speedy deletion request[edit]

I remove the speedy deletion request, that was added because someone thought that article was a hoax. I have found and added several references that verify that Barzani Jewish Neo-Aramaic is/was a real language and the article is not fake. --Diamonddavej (talk) 19:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Diamonddavej. As if the Ethnologue reference and ISO 639-3 code alone were not enough to discourage that idiot anon that kept adding the hoax marker. (Taivo (talk) 01:18, 18 September 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Number of speakers[edit]

Please compare the article for the year 1998, where it claims that the last speaker of this language died in 1998.

– This as an attempt to systematize the naming of articles about dialects of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic, a dialect continuum featuring distinct varieties spoken by Christians and Jews. After a discussion on Talk:Lishán Didán, with the help of User:Srnec it was determined that the formula "[religion] Neo-Aramaic dialect of [location]" is most commonly used by sources and avoids the impression that these are proper names. Some areas only have one religious community speaking Neo-Aramaic, and in those cases the religion is omitted (Hertevin, Bohtan, and Qaraqosh are spoken by Christians, but also the Neo-Aramaic dialect of Kerend is spoken only by Jews.)

Support. I compared "Hertevin dialect" with "dialect of Hertevin" just to make sure we aren't creating more complicated names than we need, but the latter is indeed more common. Srnec (talk) 00:56, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
