Sorani

Sorani is a dialect of the Kurdish language primarily spoken in parts of Iraq and Iran. It uses a version of the Arabic script with some modifications and has its own standardized alphabet. Sorani is written from right to left and serves as one of the main written forms of Kurdish, especially in Iraq. It is used in media, education, and literature, playing a vital role in cultural identity and communication within Kurdish communities. Linguistically, it has distinctive phonological and grammatical features that set it apart from other Kurdish dialects like Kurmanji.
