Happy Nowruz!! Nowruz (Newroz) is very important for the Kurds, just as it is for many other groups! So I hope you enjoy this video on this special day if you speak Kurdish. For those who are interested to know a bit more about Nowruz, we made a very short video about it 4 years ago, be sure to check it out: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZuDxcWIqrWbkrw.html For non-Kurdish speakers, depending on the language you speak, there is a chance that you can figure out a lot of what is being said here. As a native Persian speakers, I was able to understand a fair bit of it! It's a very educational video. Hope you all enjoy it!

Once, they were eating with us and laughing, when I asked what is funny they said: your traditional bread equals 10 of our breads lol. they were so funny and kind people.

@@a7a416 as a kurd, the main problem with the education system in Iraqi kurdistan is, they don't teach us about the certain words that only kurmanjs are using like the word (Gole) of 10:50 or avjenyie. Instead they go right away to teach us about the Messed up kurmanji poems that we don't know what they mean or the grammer. I wish that when we were in like class 3 or 4 the whole kurdish book would have been about the learning of kurdish dialects for example southern kurdish like (lak) , Middle kurdish, kurmanji, and Goran dialects like zaza and Hawrami. I was just talking to a zaza kurd and because they were away from the Hawramis(their other Gorani speaking Dialect) and instead with the kurmanjs he said that they are not kurds but rather brothers of kurds. I don't care if he thinks that we were their brothers or step brothers but I do know that it's a big problem. And not all of the Zaza kurds around Dersim think like that but even if one zaza kurd think like that it's still a Problem. the enemy literally dreams to see us divided and here we are, because of no knowledge of our language which is kurdish and our different Dialects instead of praising this rich beautiful language with this diverse culture and different words of different dialects we differing ourselves from our kurdishness.

I am sorry but Züleyha had a few problems at Kurmanji. As a half Kurmanji I saw several obvious sentences which are so similar but she didn't even noticed. Like be dilî xot, xoshi to xoshi mine. Which is almost the same with Kurmanji bi dile xwe, xweshi te xweshi mine. I am only half Dimli-Zaza and not very fluent there but even in Dimli it is something like bi dile xo, weshi to weshi mi o. It was a very basic sentence. She also didn't noticed some obvious things. When Daphne used zor jiwan for beautiful Züleyha should actually know that it also exists in Kurmanji but Ciwan can mean both beautiful and young.

Do you live in turkey?

I noticed from the comments that many people have the wrong assumption the difference between Kurdish dialects is soleley because of the countries they live in. But isn't true. Kurdish is divided regionally not by state borders. The Kurdish dialect Züleyha speaks is spoken in all parts of Kurdistan. In West(Syria), South(Iraq), North(Turkey) and East(Iran) Kurdistan. The Kurdish spoken by Daphne and Roozbeh is spoken in South and East Kurdistan. Then there is Pehlewani (Kelhur Leki Feyli ) and Hawrami which are also spoken in South and East Kurdistan over the borders. And in North and pockets of West Kurdistan there is Dimli/Kirmancki(Zazaki) which is in a group with Hawrami. The differences we see between Kurdish dialects or languages is natural and the result of isolation by tribes and kingdoms mostly from early medievil times up until the second half of the 20th century. This is nothing unheard of. To name an example. Some of the Northern Italian dialects are in fact closer to French than to Southern Italian dialects. Or as some others mentioned Yorkshire English subdialects are not mutually intelligible to standardized English. Or Austro-Bavarian or Frisian to standardized German. But in contrast to these people Kurds never had the chance to form a standardized language for obvious reasons. I think allot of people who are interested in languages actually know this and the persons who actually make a big fuss out of it are the usual suspects who are only here for political agendas.

That's true. For example Northern Kurds mainly Kurmanjis more of a descent of Medes and Hurrians. Meanwhile southern Kurds mainly Feylis are descendants of Parthians and Scythians. This is why they have been classified as "Kurdish languages" but not as dialects. Also another intresting fact is Hurro-Urartian was an ergative language. This why only Kurdish Languages from all other Aryanic Languages are ergative. Kurdish languages have contrubitons of many languages from different origins and eras.

@denizpamir

Kurdish isn't a language, and it doesn't have dialects. To speak of a certain "Kurdish language" is like speaking of a certain "nomad language". It makes no sense at all. Kurd means nomad, nothing more. It is not an ethnicity. It describes a way of living. Kurmanji, Sorani and Pehlewani are different languages that are mutually unintelligible. Yorkshire English dialects are mutually intelligible, contrary to your baseless claim. They are all Northwestern Iranian languages and their speakers have historically been nomads and that's exactly why they were referred to as Kurds. Kurd is as much an ethnicity as Cossack is, which means it's not. Since we cannot speak of a "Cossack language", we also cannot speak of a Kurdish language. Now, as for Zaza-Gorani, it is a separate Northwestern Iranian language family that includes the Zazaki language and the Gorani language family which includes stand-alone languages (not dialects) like Hawrami and Shabaki. Arabs named every non-Persian Iranian people "Ekrad". They even called Daylamites "Kurds of Gilan", which is stupid because Daylamites were not nomads. In the same fashion, they called Zaza-Gorani speakers Kurds too, and because of this categorization of the dominant regional power, Zaza-Gorani speakers, having no sense of ethnic identity, had no problems calling themselves Kurds. Some Zazas and Shabaks today reject the Kurdish identity. Shabaks were threatened with violence by Iraqi Kurdistan representatives because Shabaks didn't want to be included in a Kurdish polity. Zaza language is called Dimili in Zaza language, a clear reference to Daylamites, who had nothing to do with the so-called Kurds, and entered Eastern Anatolia/Western Armenia as elite troops in the Seljuq army, along with Kurd (NW-Iranic nomads) and Turkmen tribes after the Battle of Manzikert. They are all Northwestern Iranian languages and for sure related to each other. However, including you, most Kurds are politically motivated and staunch supporters of pan-Kurdism and Kurdification of Northwestern Iranian speakers. Some Kurds even try to identify Talysh people as Kurds, and I'm sure you would have called the dead Azari language a dialect of Kurdish if it was alive. This is no different than toxic pan-Turkism that considers every Turkic language a dialect of one Turkish language and identifies all Turkic nations as Turk. English and Austrian are Germanic languages, but they are not "dialects of German". Kurmanji, Sorani, Zazaki, Gorani etc can be considered "Kurdic", since their speakers were nomads or semi-nomads, but they are not dialects of some non-existent Kurdish language.

The origin starts with the Indo-Iranian, if not even the Indo European branching off. Median is just a subbranch like Oqhusic is in Turkic. It's a later state. If we start from Median as source for Kurdish, we have to start from Oqhusic for Turkish. Which turns up roughly around 500 AD.

I believe that for us who are born and grew up in Europe only learning Kurdish from our parents and grandparents and not being exposed to Kurdish media and TV our dialect have not gone through the same changes as it would have if we had stayed in the motherland. I speak exactly the same Kurdish as my grandfather spoke 100 years ago, he did not speak a word of Turkish so the Kurmanci is fairly "pure" most of the loanwords are from Arabic, it would definetly have been difficult if he would speak with someone who learned academic Kurmanci in a university.

Due to the lack of an integrated educational system for the Kurdish language, we may observe such cases too much. A unified writing script will make Kurdish dialects closer to each other. still existing formal writing script for central and northern Kurdish is a great step toward standardizing the Kurdish language in the future. The Kurdish language uses a vocabulary source created by all of its dialects. When you start to know, how is another Kurdish dialect, you will realize how these dialects are close to each other. my opinion: start learning to write with both Arami and Latin scripts. it is easy to learn. As I am familiar with both Kurdish Sorani and Kurmanji, Sorani (Central Kurdish) is a simplified form of the Kurdish language since it doesn't have complex grammar.

Sir I must say I love Indo-Iranian languages. We are connected with a lot of history. In fact even I am learning Persian and Kurdish languages and I want to say the Kurdish word for university is zanîngeh, which is interesting because zanîngeh has the same ending as the Persian "dâneshgâh". The geh and gâh basically meaning place. Similarly, if we compare the first part of it, you can see zanîn in Kurdish is knowing, and in Persian “dânesh” means knowledge.

It seems that modern Indo-Iranian languages are derived from the Iranic mother language not so far in history, I know both Kurdish and Persian, and do feel sometimes, on spoken level, that they are two dilects of the same language. Infact these two languages still share vocablaries with other Indo-Europian groups such as Indian, Slavic, Germanic, so you may notice common words in Urdu, Russian, and even English.

The editing was awesome! Thank you Bahador for uploading this, as I said in the video it was a pleasure to take part in it. I have enjoyed reading all the beautiful and cheerful comments and some great insights into the origins of certain words we used in the Kurmanji, Sinai (Ardalani) and Sorani dialects. Indeed it was educational, again I have learned so much. Also thank you for the sweet and encouraging comments from kurds and non-kurds. It warms my heart to read them and to see non-kurds pointing out the similarities of our dialects to their respective languages. However, I want to point out several things. Firstly, I know Züleyha personally and she is fluent in Kurmanji, in fact it is almost perfect. Secondly, I also think that more of our beautiful kurdish dialects should be exposed to Kurds and non-Kurds, so if anybody feels encouraged to take part and make a video about it on Bahadors youtube channel, please do. It would be appreciated to see the different ways we speak in for instance Pahlewani, Gorani, Badini and so on. We should expose these beautiful dialects more and more. Thirdly the entire point about our video was to show that there are in fact some differences in our dialects for different reasons and that is entirely OK. What we should do is not only to point them out, but also to try to find ways to learn them and by that also learning more about our history and who we are. Thank you again and take care of yourselves. Life is too short to hate and pick on others.

Your sentence: "be dilî xot, xoşî to xoşî min e" in sorani is "bi dilê xwe, xweşîya te xweşîya min e" in kurmancî. This is basically the same sentence and very easy to understand for a kurrmanc, why did she struggle so much ? Second: av-jenîn = to swim Consists of two words "av-" = water and "-jenîn" = to move. So the guy on the left was actually right, it means something like "water-movement", or "water-sports". In our dialect "jenîn" means to jog, but also means playing around. "Mele kirdin" on the other hand (in soranî) has an arabic root.

We have learnt from our ancestors we have come here from Dailam region during Buyid expansion. Historical and linguistic evidences backs this claim. Although it has been 1000 years we still have many similarities with other Caspian languages such as the Talish which we don't have with kurmanji for the same words although we have been living close to each other almost 1000 years. Beside this there is no archeological evidence that we were living in eastern anatolia, the region was populated by Armenians before we came here. Some of names of Zaza villages are still in Armenian. Among Zazas there are some armenian, turk and kurdish villages who speak Zaza language but that doesn't mean that Zazas are kurd, turk or armenian.

Awesome work! Thank you for doing it What few people know is, that we have in Kurmanji accentuated "K"s. The first word "karîn" for "to be able to" has a softer "K" and has the same root as the word for "work" -> "Kar" (which has a harder "K"). As for the test: The first sentences were tricky and hard. They should not have taken proverbs. I understand Soranî like very good, but couldn't decipher a lot of those. And, btw, the girl in the middle has difficulty speaking Kurmanji. That affects how the other two understand it

I learned quite a bit of Dari Persian and I could get some of what the speakers from Iraq and Iran said, the one from Turkey close to zero. The fact they had similar struggles is remarkable. Seems like comparing Dutch, or even Frisian, to Swiss German.

Thank you for this video Bahador🙏 Kurdish is a huge dialect continuum. To understand... a Sorani speaker from the Ballk tribe can easy communicate with Badinis, which is a Kurmanji accent, better than those in the video. Also we have southern kurdish also known as Kalhuri. The Leylax Kurds who live in Qurwa can easily communicate with a Kulyayi, which speak a accent of southern Kurdish/Kalhuri, better than a Babani (slemani) and a Kermashani would understand each other. Also i don't know why Laki is considered as a own language by some linguist, in fact we have the Xizil dialect Ilam which is a transitional dialect between Kelhuri and Laki. Ethnic Kurds speak also Zaza-Gorani. There is a Gorani dialect called Gawraju. It is so close to Laki and Leylaxi that some linguist call Gorani because of it a Kurdish dialect. The Zangana dialect of Gorani has a Zazaki touch, being maybe a proof that there was once a continuum of Zaza-Gorani dialects. For kurdish we have to compare the accents and subdialcts. But that would be to complex.

Also one interesting thing is that there are also some Turkish words like the word for lake. And I also realize that Sorani is somewhat closer to Persian.

Where would you like an independent Kurdistan to be? Surely it's not possible at this stage to take out territories from 4 different independent UN recognized countries. Iraqi Kurdistan is already officially recognized as an autonomous region, so the question is do you want Iraqi Kurdistan to become an official country completely separate from Iraq, or do you want other pieces of land to become a part of it?

It is interesting to note regarding the Kurdish word for white, spî. Spî shares the same root as the Persian sefid. But what's really interesting is that the Armenian word for white is spidag, and this is actually closer to the original Iranic word for white because in Middle Persian the word for white was spedag, but then it eventually changed to sped, then to sepid, and then modern Persian the word changed to sefid. While Armenian preserved the more ancient term.

I think the more interesting information is that the Kurdish verb "kar"(to can,be able) is a verb borrowed from Armenian language. The verb կարողանալ(karoghanal) and կարող (Karol) in Armenian means to can,be able. The verb kar is not used in any new or old Iranian language except Kurmanji. This shows us that this verb is borrowed from Armenian language. Several verbs are used for "to can,be able" in Kurmanji. One of them is "Şayîn / Şê". This verb is cognate with Persian verb Šāyastan/Šā and Avestan verb Xšā.

I didn’t see any video sharing the Hawrami dialect which it was a main Kurdish literature dialect for more than two hundred years. Nowadays in Iraq and Iran all of them speaks sorani with their dialect.

I think Faily kurdish is closer to Surani as I understood it much more that badinani. Thanks for making this video. Truly appreciate it.

It shows how Kurds differ in tongue across the three countries of Iran, Iraq and Turkey. Not even mentioning the Kurds of Syria and Armenia.

I am a bit shocked at some of the comments here because I watch all the videos on this channel and I don't know why some people comment about political stuff. I didn't see anything political here. The focus is on the Kurdish language, and I don't know why people don't like to hear the name Kurdistan? There are many names like this all around the world that refer to specific geographical areas that are not official countries. If asked what country they are from, they can say Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Russia, Germany, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, India, China, Japan, Morocco, Libya, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Philippines, Sudan, Spain, Chile, Australia, and others, but when focusing on cultures or languages that are in these countries, what is wrong with referring to it based on its geographical area?

Well the issue is that we’ve been divided into 4 parts into different countries right down the middle, while we are all Kurdish and have the same homelands. Essentially dividing us is a way to steal our lands and to keep us separated from our people. There are at least 50 million Kurds in the region alone- Kurds are the largest ethnic group without a state! This is all without mentioning the multiple genocides against us and the attempts to oppress us and to assimilate us into the other cultures. Turkey and Iran are currently doing a lot of damage and trying to assimilate us into Turkish and Persian culture. It wouldn’t be as bad if they just let us be, however, that is not what they’ve been doing. I can name two genocides right now: halabja and dersim. Then there’s also the anfal campaign. This is all in the past, and theres even more that Turkey and Iran is doing in the present too.

@@sara.othman First of all most independent analysts put the number at lower thab 50 million. It's common for nationalist movements to overestimate their own populations. Secondly it's not true that Kurds are the largest ethnic group witbout their own state. Many larger groups exist like Tamils, Marathis, Punjabis, Gujaratis, Hausa, Amazigh none of whom have their own state. And if we're talking about genocide then what about the role Kurdish tribes played in the genocides against Armenians and Assyrians? Much of the region currently described as Kurdistan belonged to them before they were driven out and replaced with Turks and Kurds.
