This article examines a Syriac historiographical writing of the late eighth century—the so-called Zuqnin Chronicle, or the Chronicle of Pseudo-Dionysius of Tell Maḥre—and certain lexical features that are found at the end of the work. It is argued that these lexical items were drawn into the chronicle from a colloquial Aramaic language spoken in the vicinity of Amid, and that this colloquial variant is linked with the Neo-Aramaic language Turoyo. In addition, the article offers a methodology for identifying colloquial Aramaic words in the corpus of Classical Syriac literature.

Zuqnin纪事是八世纪北部美索不达米亚白话阿拉姆语的证据

本文研究了八世纪末的叙利亚史学著作（即所谓的《祖钦编年史》或《泰勒·马雷的伪狄俄尼修斯纪事》），以及在研究结束时发现的某些词汇特征。有人认为这些词汇是从阿米德附近的口语亚拉姆语中被编入编年史的，这种口语变体与新亚拉姆语图罗约语有联系。此外，本文提供了一种在古典叙利亚文学语料库中识别口语Aramaic单词的方法。
