Call to Tur-Abdin Aramaic Language Teachers and Linguists
How do you translate new words such as NOMOPHOBIA in Tur-Abdin Aramaic? The Tur-Abdin Aramaic Language Committee (TALC) will focus on reassessing existing words and on introducing new ones in this centuries-old Aramaic dialect. It's high time to bring the right people together to reach a majority consensus about these questions so that Aramaic can be modernized and its speakers can continue to keep this beautiful dialect alive.
