Ramcina speaking Surayt

Surayt is a Central Neo-Aramaic language traditionally spoken in the Tur Abdin region in southeastern Turkey and in northern Syria, predominantly by Syriac Orthodox Christians. The term ‘Ṭuroyo’ originates from the word ṭuro, meaning 'mountain', thus designating a specific Neo-Aramaic language of the mountain region of Tur Abdin. A cousin of Hebrew and Arabic, Aramaic varieties were the predominant languages of Roman Judea during the time of Jesus.
