| Résumé: | This article examines a Syriac historiographical writing of the late eighth century - the so-called Zuqnin Chronicle, or the Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius of Tell Maḥre - and certain lexical features that are found at the end of the work. It is argued that these lexical items were drawn into the chronicle from a colloquial Aramaic language spoken in the vicinity of Amid, and that this colloquial variant is linked with the Neo-Aramaic language Turoyo. In addition, the article offers a methodology for identifying colloquial Aramaic words in the corpus of Classical Syriac literature. |
