The documentation of the Neo-Aramaic dialects before their extinction has been described as the most urgent task in all of Semitology today. The death of this language will be an unfathomable loss to the descendents of the indigenous speakers of Aramaic, now predominantly diasporic after forced displacement due to violence. This paper develops an ASR model to expedite the documentation of this endangered language and generalizes the strategy in a new framework we call NoLoR.
