Kurdish language

Kurdish is a branch of the Iranian language family spoken primarily by the Kurdish people across regions in Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and neighboring areas. It has several dialects, including Kurmanji and Sorani, which differ in pronunciation and grammar. Kurdish is written in various scripts, such as Latin, Arabic, and Cyrillic, depending on the country. It serves as a vital cultural and national identifier for Kurds, reflecting their rich history, traditions, and aspirations for recognition and autonomy. Despite political and social challenges, Kurdish continues to thrive as a vibrant language of expression and identity.
