This volume has been the successful outcome of the 1st Konitsa Summer School in Anthropology, Ethnography and Comparative Folklore of the Balkans that took place from July 30 th to August 12 th, 2006 in Konitsa, Greece. The structure of the book corresponds to the different academic dimensions of the whole event. Our emphasis on the students' participation, on providing them with the opportunity to express themselves and publish their work, reflects the priority we have given to the educational dimension of our task. We hope this edition to be a forum for academic dialogue concerning the anthropology of the Balkans.

Language descriptions focus on historical development, contemporary use, regional and social variation, structural features, and Hebrew/Aramaic loanwords. The book covers commonly researched language varieties, like Yiddish, Judeo-Spanish, and Judeo-Arabic, as well as less commonly researched ones, like Judeo-Tat, Jewish Swedish, and Hebraized Amharic in Israel today.
