ZammitCambridgeOpen Book Publishers2025261-298Cambridge Semitic Languages and Cultures 31This chapter investigates language and dialect contact in Syrian Ṭuroyo, a Central Neo-Aramaic language spoken in Southern Turkey, Northern Syria and more recently Western Europe. Due to a shift in linguistic ecology, Syrian Ṭuroyo exhibits extensive borrowing and replication from Arabic and a marginalisation of the Kurdish component. From a dialect contact perspective, Syrian Ṭuroyo shows a series of phenomena commonly observed in koineisation processes such as simplification and levelling. The data on which the paper draws were collected both in situ and in diaspora.
