Turoyo

Turoyo is a modern dialect of the Aramaic language, historically spoken by Assyrian and Syriac communities in the Middle East. It evolved from ancient Aramaic, which was widely used in the Near East thousands of years ago, and is related to other Semitic languages like Hebrew and Arabic. Today, Turoyo is primarily used in religious contexts, cultural preservation, and daily communication among Assyrians. It features unique pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar that distinguish it from other dialects. Despite challenges, Turoyo remains an important part of identity and heritage for its speakers.
