Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This is the first detailed overall account of Neo-Aramaic. The book includes not only diachronic and synchronic linguistic information, but also presents details of the minority communities (Jews, Christians and Mandaeans) who speak (or until recently spoke) these fascinating Semitic languages.
MoreLong description:
The Handbook of Neo-Aramaic aims to provide an introduction to, and details of the complex world of Neo-Aramaic. This large family of endangered Neo-Semitic languages are (or until recently were) spoken by Jewish, Christian and Mandaean minorities in parts of the Middle East. Most members of these communities now live in various diasporas.
Following a series of general chapters dealing with historical background, classification, salient linguistic features, Neo-Semitic context, contact languages (Kurdish, etc.), manuscripts and printed texts, Neo-Aramaic in the media etc., the book presents grammatical sketches of 15 different Neo-Aramaic dialects (some never described before), followed by maps and a bibliography.
The book hopes to provide material of interest both to the beginner and the more advanced specialist.
