SEMITIC: HEBREW & CHALDEAN NEO ARAMAIC

Welcome to my channel! This is Andy from I love languages. Let's learn different languages/dialects together. Chaldean Neo-Aramaic is a modern Eastern Aramaic or Syriac language, spoken in the region between Lake Urmia in Iranian Azerbaijan and Mosul in northern Iraq. It is not to be confused with the, mostly now disused, term Chaldean referring to the Old Aramaic dialect of the Chaldean, or eleventh, dynasty of Babylonia. Originally, Chaldean Neo-Aramaic was spoken on the Plain of Mosul, northern Iraq, but it is now the language of a worldwide diaspora. Most speakers are members of the Chaldean Catholic Church. Hebrew is a Northwest Semitic language within the Afroasiatic family, was originally spoken by the Israelites and used regularly until after 200 CE. It has served as the liturgical language for Judaism and Samaritanism since the Second Temple period. Revived as a spoken language in the 19th century, Hebrew is the only successful large-scale example of linguistic revival. It is the sole surviving Canaanite language and one of only two still-spoken Northwest Semitic languages, the other being Aramaic.
