Kurdish language rights

Kurdish language rights refer to the recognition and protection of the Kurdish language, spoken by the Kurdish people primarily in regions of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. These rights include the ability to use the Kurdish language in education, government, media, and everyday life. Many Kurdish communities advocate for official status for their language to preserve their cultural identity and promote equality, as they have often faced restrictions on speaking Kurdish. Language rights are seen as essential for fostering cultural heritage, social cohesion, and political recognition for Kurdish people.
