'''Bijil Neo-Aramaic''' is a modern [[Jew]]ish [[Aramaic language]], often called ''Neo-Aramaic'' or ''[[Judeo-Aramaic]]''. It was originally spoken in the village of Bijil in [[Iraq]]i [[Kurdistan]]. The native name of the language is ''Lishanid Janan'', which means 'our language', and is similar to names used by other Jewish Neo-Aramaic dialects ([[Lishan Didan]], [[Lishanid Noshan]]).
Ur [[Yezhoù semitek|yezh semitek]] eo an '''djananeg''' ('לשניד דינן ''lišānîd jānān'', "hon yezh") pe '''yuzev-[[aramaeg]]''' komzet ez-hengounel gant ar [[yuzev|yuzevion]] e kêriadenn Bidjil (pe ''Bijil'') en [[Kurdistan]] ([[Irak]]).
== Origin and use today ==
Bremañ avat ne vez komzet nemet gant un 10 den bennaket o chom e Stad "[[Israel]]".
The Jewish inhabitants of a wide area from northern [[Iraq]], eastern [[Turkey]] and north western [[Iran]] mostly spoke various dialects of modern [[Aramaic language|Aramaic]]. The turmoil near the end of the [[First World War]] and resettlement in [[Israel]] in [[1951]] (when eight families from Bijil moved to the new Jewish state) led to the decline of these traditional languages.
Mervel a reas an den diwezhañ a rae gant an djananeg evel yezh kentañ e [[1998]] hag an dud all barrek warnañ evel eil [[yezh]] hag a van c'hoazh o deus holl ouzhpenn tri-ugent vloaz.
The last native speaker of Bijil Neo-Aramaic died in [[1998]]. The remaining second-language speakers are all related and over sixty years of age. The first language of these speakers is either [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] or [[Kurdish language|Kurdish]], and some also speak [[Arabic language|Arabic]] or another Neo-Aramaic dialect. Thus, the language is effectively extinct.
Ur [[yezh en arvar]] da vont da get an hini eo, pe c'hoazh ur [[yezh varv|yezh damvarv]].
Not enough evidence about Bijil Neo-Aramaic has been gathered to establish a connection with other Neo-Aramaic dialects. It may be related to [[Lishanid Noshan]], which has clusters around [[Arbil]] to the south east of Bijil. There maybe some similarities between Bijil Neo-Aramaic and the subdialect of Lishanid Noshan formerly spoken in the village of Dobe, 50 km north of Arbil.
