@histodons "didan" in Aramaic mean "ours" (Hebrew: sche-la-nu).

"Lishan didan" means "our language", it is also the name of a Judeo-Aramaic dialect spoken by the "Nash didan" (our people), a Jewish community my ancestors belonged to, who settled near Lake Urmia in 586 BCE. They started immigrating back to Palestine in small numbers since 1895s.

Since Judeo-Aramaic is written in Hebrew script, it's deceitfully approachable. Many expressions are preserved in Hebrew, but otherwise you'd need a dictionary...
