Abstract
The Neo-Aramaic dialect of the Assyrian Christians of Urmi is drastically losing its speakers who abandoned their villages of origin as a consequence of the tragic events of the last century. This article is a result of the fieldwork conducted by the author in 2012 in Tehran, with the purpose of examining the vitality of this endangered Neo-Aramaic variety in Iran, more specifically in the capital city, where since the 4th decades of the 20th century a large community of Assyrians is found. The author sketches the sociolinguistic situation of the Assyrians of Tehran, using interviews, self-declarations and materials collected on the field.

期刊介绍:
The journal has three main aims. First of all, it aims at encouraging interdisciplinary research on Asia and Africa, maintaining high research standards. Second, by providing a global forum for Asian and African scholars, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community and civil society, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. The third aim for a specialized academic journal is to widen the opportunities for publishing worthy scholarly studies, to stimulate debate, to create an ideal agora where ideas and research results can be compared and contrasted. Another challenge is to combine a scientific approach and the interest for cultural debate, artistic production, biographic narrative, etcetera. This journal wants to be original (even hybrid) also in its structure, where academic rigor should not hinder access to the vitality of experience and of artistic and cultural production.
