Description
1. INTRODUCTION Koy Sanjaq, an Iraqi Kurdish town located fifty-five kilometers southeast of Arbil, once had two small minority communities of Neo-Aramaic speakers, one Jewish and one Christian, each speaking its own variety of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA). In 1951 the Jews of Koy Sanjaq all left for Israel, and since then only the town's Christian Neo-Aramaic variety has lingered on in loco, now spoken by approximately 140 adherents of the Chaldean Catholic Church.
