Scattered across the mountains of Iraq, Iran and Turkey, the Jews of Kurdistan spoke Neo-Aramaic dialects (lishana deni, lishanid noshan), direct heirs of the Talmudic tongue. Rural communities of farmers, muleteers and peddlers, they venerated local saints and celebrated the Seharane festival. Almost all emigrated to Israel in the 1950s.
