CONTENT DESCRIPTION
Story about two brothers-in-law, one moves to Sweden, the other remains in Zaz, in Mesopotamia.
GENERAL COMMENTS
Part of a series of (at least) four books by the same author, the first two (1989) published by SIL, the two others (1990) jointly with an Assyrian/Suryoyo publisher: Bet-Froso Nsibin. From the foreword in the two 1989-publications, all in a latinized version of the vernacular Syriac language (Turoyo) [ii] provides a few lines on this ambitious but mostly unsuccessful project (as far as the introduction of this latinized version was concerned): "A project for the development of educational aids in Turoyo is being carried out by Assyrian/Syrian staff at the National Swedish Institute for Teaching Material (SIL). Dr. Yusuf Ishaq acting as scientific advisor. We hope that this story will enable students to make closer contact with their own culture. We also believe that it can help reinforce understanding between parents and children." This and the other 1990-publication include an insert with an English summary of the story and the regulations of the Nsibin organization. It refers to its main aim: “modernising the classical Assyriac (Syriac, Aramaic, Chaldean) letters and dictionaries by Latinising them in a similar fashion to the alphabet described in (SÖ:s TOXU QORENA 1982, Stockholm-Sweden). This means a concentration on the spoken language rather than the written one."
