Qaraqosh is one of the most conservative dialects of Northeastern Neo-Aramaic,[1] spoken by ethnic Assyrians in the city of Qaraqosh (Bakhdida) in Iraq. Qaraqosh dialect has some similarities with the Aramaic spoken in nearby Karamlesh.[2] It is a peripheral dialect in the dialect continuum of Neo-Aramaic stretching from Turoyo to western Iran.[3]
