The Jews of the Kurdistan region speak dialects of Aramaic language (see Northeastern Neo-Aramaic), which is not even a distant relative of the Kurdish language spoken by the Muslims of the region. Is there a source for the existence of a different "Judeo Kurdish" language? otherwise this page should be a redirect link to Northeastern Neo-Aramaic. Thanks, Ben Gershon - בן גרשון ( Talk) 04:06, 11 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Since nobody has replied and no source has been given for 3 months (since i put the citation needed template) and over 4 years have passed since the {sources} template was put, I remove this unsourced claim, and put a redirection to Northeastern Neo-Aramaic instead.

I will put this issue on my checklist for the near future. Greyshark09 ( talk) 21:43, 25 February 2012 (UTC) reply

According to this source, Jews of Kurdistan were and still speak (the elderly) the Aramaic dialect. So Judeaeo-Kurdish doesn't sound reliable to exist. Sabar Yona (see [1]), also speaks of Neo-Aramaic, spoken by the Jews of Zakho. Greyshark09 ( talk) 06:54, 26 February 2012 (UTC) reply

That's true. More info about it appears in Yona Sabar's books and in Ido Avneri's books as well. The most precise link would be to Judaeo-Northeastern-Neo-Aramaic, but we don't have such a page (yet) :) both Judaeo-Aramaic and Northeastern-Neo-Aramaic can be good redirects for now; Specifically about the dialect of the Jews of Zakho, we do have an article - Lishana Deni (which as I said is my grandparents native tongue), but it's too specific so redirecting here is better.

No problem. Cheers. Greyshark09 ( talk) 17:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Is this phrase in the article supposed to mean that Aramaic superseded Hebrew, or that that Aramaic itself was superseded by another language? -- 92.231.116.164 ( talk) 22:47, 21 January 2013 (UTC) reply
