    ????? – Facts about the Kurdish language

    Kurdish is the language spoken in the region known as Kurdistan, which encompasses Iran, Iraq, Armenia, Syria, and Turkey.   Kurdish populations can also be found in Lebanon, Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Kazakstan and Afghanistan. It is an official language of three Kurdish regions in Iraq and it is estimated that there are between approximately 20 and 40 million speakers of Kurdish worldwide.

    Kurdish is a North-western Iranian language of the Indo-European language family.  The distinction between language and dialect within this group is often unclear as there is not a  widely-accepted system of categorisation.  A common approach, however, to distinguish between the language and the dialects is to divide them into three groups:

    Northern dialects, (Kurmanji), Central dialects (Sorani) and Southern dialects (Pehlewan).

    Kurds use three different alphabets for writing in Kurdish.  In Iran and Iraq, Kurdish is written using the Arabic alphabet.   However, in Turkey and Syria, Kurdish is written using the Latin alphabet.  Meanwhile, Kurds in the former Soviet Union use a modified Cyrillic alphabet. There is currently some movement to standardise and unify the Kurdish language to one type of script.
