Talk:Western Neo-Aramaic

Wrong
There is a some amount of wrong information on this page. This include the Arabic spelling of village names and the word ܐܪܡޑܬ (the letter ޑ is from the Thaana block and not Syriac). Also there is some more valueable information available on the net in Arabic on this subject. I hope to translate it sometime in the future.

Syrian Civil War
I would think that the current civil war in Syria should be mentioned as part of the context leading to the final disappearance of the language. Last I heard (correct me if I'm wrong), the population of Ma'loula has been forced to flee the village and disperse due to the ongoing violence.

Anyone who knows more than me want to make the relevant edits? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:D:3080:74C:B0A2:926A:BAD0:CF41 (talk) 14:13, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

My co-authors and I have published a few articles recently on Modern Western Aramaic, some of which address some of the claims and concerns in this article: I would update the article myself, but I am loathe to make any updates based upon my own original research, so I'll let any interested third parties take a crack at it.

”Assyrian”?
How can Suray mean both Assyrian and Aramean? Two different things. OromoyoAWKITSuryoyo (talk) 18:27, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
