Talk:Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialect of Urmia

message: * I am the original author of this page, I called it Lishan Didan. It was moved to Lishan Didan language. However, as the word lishan means language the new name is not a good one. I agree with the policy that articles about individual languages should generally be titled * language, but I do not agree that this should be blanket policy, and do not agree with in this case. --Gareth Hughes 22:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Lishán Didán →  – The name "Lishán Didán" is not much used in English language sources outside of Wikipedia, as you can tell by the first two Google Scholar results being scraped from our website. There are two books published on this dialect (spoken in Urmia and nearby areas of Iranian Azerbaijan as well as adjoining areas of modern-day Turkey (Baskale and Gawar):

I prefer "Urmia" because the geographical area of this dialect is not coterminus with Iranian Azerbaijan and it's consistent with Urmia Christian Neo-Aramaic, but I would also support Iranian Azerbaijan Jewish Neo-Aramaic as well. (t · c) buidhe 15:03, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

text: I'd like a second opinion. If others think this format is acceptable for a descriptive title, I'm fine with it. I do prefer it to a bunch of articles of the form "[Religion] Neo-Aramaic dialect of [location]". Another option would be "[Location] dialect of [religion] Neo-Aramaic".

replies: text: On further investigation, I think Srnec's original proposal more closely matches what these dialects are called in reliable sources, for example there are books or other academic works (papers, chapters, etc.) on The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Amədya, The Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Barwar, The Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Qaraqosh, The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Sulemaniyya and Ḥalabja, The neo-Aramaic dialect of Bohtan, A grammar of Neo-Aramaic: The dialect of the Jews of Arbel, The neo-Aramaic dialect of Jilu, The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Betanure (Province of Dihok), The Neo-Aramaic dialect of Alqosh, The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Persian Azerbaijan: Linguistic Analysis and Folkloristic Texts,  The Neo-Aramaic Dialect of the Assyrian Christians of Urmi, The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Koy Sanjaq (Iraqi Kurdistan), The Jewish Neo-Aramaic Dialect of Challa, The syntax of Neo-Aramaic: the Jewish dialect of Zakho, "Ditransitive constructions in the Neo-Aramaic dialect of Telkepe", "The impact of Kurdish and Turkish on the Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialect of Persian Azerbaijan and the adjoining regions",  "The Neo-Aramaic dialect of the Jews of Rustaqa", "A poem in the Neo-Aramaic dialect of Urmia", A grammar of the Christian Neo-Aramaic dialect of Diyana-Zariwaw. Especially linguist Geoffrey Khan but other linguists as well use this format. I guess the main question is whether to label "Jewish" or "Christian" when only one of them is spoken in a particular area. For example, should it be "Neo-Aramaic dialect of Bohtan" or "Christian Neo-Aramaic dialect of Bohtan"? (t · c) buidhe 23:27, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
