Hussam speaking Mandaic

Neo-Mandaic, also known as Modern Mandaic, sometimes called the "ratna", is the modern reflex of the Mandaic language, the liturgical language of the Mandaean religious community of Iraq and Iran. Although considered severely endangered, it survives today as the first language of a small number of Mandaeans (an estimated 100–200 speakers) in Iran and in the Mandaean diaspora.
