Написано по полевым материалам в те годы, когда новосирийский на
Урмии и в Курдистане был повседневным разговорным языком.
Theodor Nöldeke ‘s Grammatik der neusyrischen Sprache is an
extremely rare find. Its scarcity should not be taken as a
reflection on its authority or usefulness, however. In this
original 1868 edition, Nöldeke lays out the basics of Neo-Syrian as
it was used in Kurdistan and the area of Uremia. This valuable
study, essentially unique to this day in its coverage of
underrepresented language studies, provides a substantial, German
introduction to the dialects described, followed by a thorough
study of the languages themselves, also in German. The utility of
this essential work is without question, and it will be eagerly
sought out by scholars of languages related to Syriac as they have
continued to be used.

He wrote prolifically on Semitic linguistics, producing several notable grammars, including the present volume.
