Abstract

The article discusses dialectal and folkloristic features of an oral narrative in a North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) variety recently recorded in the Southern Russian village of Urmiya. The dialect of the tale belongs to the NENA varieties originating in the easternmost regions of Turkey, which is corroborated by the tale’s speaker, who named its places of origin as Lewən, Albaq, and Gawar. These dialects remain largely undescribed and are highly endangered. The plot of the story is not known from hitherto published Neo-Aramaic field texts. Even though it resembles some of the folktales recorded in Iran and India, the story contains a unique combination of narrative motifs.

猿屋里的女孩:俄罗斯乌尔米亚东北部新阿拉姆语的民间故事

本文讨论了最近在俄罗斯南部的Urmiya村记录的东北新亚拉姆语（NENA）变体中口头叙事的方言和民俗特征。故事的方言属于起源于土耳其最东部地区的NENA变体，故事的讲述者将故事的起源地命名为Leẃn、Albaq和Gawar，这一点得到了证实。这些方言在很大程度上仍然没有被描述，并且处于高度濒危状态。从迄今为止出版的新亚拉姆语田野文本中，还不知道这个故事的情节。尽管它类似于伊朗和印度记录的一些民间故事，但这个故事包含了独特的叙事主题组合。
