Neo-Mandaic [NM] is a direct descendant of a dialect very close to its classical predecessor. By the time the earliest surviving Mandaean manuscripts were copied, spoken Mandaic already showed many of the developments that distinguish the modern vernaculars from the classical language. This article, the first of two, identifies those features. The second article presents the texts and a brief assessment of the sources of change.

曼达语早期的人造橡胶中的新曼迪克语。第1部分：语言功能

Neo-Mandaic [ NM ]是方言的直接后代，非常接近其前身。到最早的尚存的曼达斯手抄本被抄袭时，曼达克语的口语已经显示出许多将现代白话语与古典语言区分开的发展。本文是两个的第一部分，介绍了这些功能。第二篇文章介绍了这些文本，并对变化的来源进行了简要评估。
