List of Tamil words in Mandaic language
by
Dr. Variankaval Ramasamy Annadurai. MD; DPM;
Mandaic is a south-eastern Aramaic language dialect type in use by the Mandaean community, traditionally based in southern parts of Iraq and Iran, for their religious books. Classical Mandaic is still employed by Mandaean priests in liturgical rites. The modern descendant of Classical Mandaic, known as Neo-Mandaic or Modern Mandaic, is spoken by a small section of Mandaeans around Ahvaz and Khorramshar in the south Iranian province Khuzistan. Liturgical use of Classical Mandaic is found in Iran (particularly the southern portions of the country), in Baghdad, Iraq and in the diaspora (particularly in the United States, Sweden, and Germany).
