However, it is very difficult for a Kurmanji to understand a Sorani. Although it is difficult to understand the dialects, the accents are understood very well. However, the Badini accent of the Kurmanji dialect is also incomprehensible. The reason for this is that it is actually a separate dialect but is accepted as a Kurmanji accent.

Hello Teacher, I am a Caucasian Kurd, in short, I am from the north (Serhed). I have a question for you, if you have any ideas on this subject, I would be happy if you share them. The first ancient Kurdish language, rather than today's Proto-Kurdish, was developed after the collapse of the Medes, i.e. BC. It is estimated to have appeared in 500 BC. But I think Kurdish is one of the oldest Indo-European languages ​​because I have reasons. I literally got the shock of my life when I researched the Proto-Indo-European language and compared it to the Kurdish (Kurmanji) dialect. The words of a language assumed to have been spoken in 5000 BC are used in the same way in Kurdish. Also, compared to other Indo-European languages, Kurdish seems closer to the Proto-Indo-European language. 60% of the words are also found in Kurdish, and it is easily understood that the remaining 30% of the words come from the same origin, although there are some differences. I saw that the 10% were completely different. This is due, of course, to words from different languages. However, the fact that the Kurdish (Kurmanji) dialect has preserved itself so well until today proves that Kurdish is one of the oldest Indo-European languages. But one of the reasons why it is so protected is that we are a semi-isolated people living in the mountains.

@CheLanguages

You are right, it preserves a lot of old vocabulary and it's quite easy to compare words between Kurmanji and other Indo-European Languages. Grammatically however, it's very different: the closest Indo-European languages grammatically to Proto-Indo-European are the Baltic languages, that is, Lithuanian and Latvian. This still does not mean that Kurdish isn't old though! But calling it "the oldest IE language" is a weird title given that they are all old...

Go and reading 📖 who are the Kurds book 📖

I speak Badini Kurmanji. I also think a common script among all dialects would be preferable. Because I am from North Iraq, I learned Kurdish with Perso-Arabic script. Latin Alphabet makes the most sense imo, because every Kurd from every region nowadays learns it in school, (either while learning Turkish or English) As Kurds (especially Turkish Kurds) will very likely not gain any state anytime soon, I think adopting the Hawar script would make the most sense, with perhaps additional diphthongs from the Yekgirtu proposal for the missing sounds. Even if all Kurds unite into one state, a common standardized language will be unlikely. Hebrew had the Torah as an unifying element, while Kurdish does not have anything like that. I would imagine situation more similar to India, where every dialect with enough regional support gets standardized, while maybe using English or Arabic for interdialectal communication. If against all odds a standard Kurdish language could be achieved, it would probably either Sorani(easier grammar, longer official use) or Kurmanji (has most speakers)

My friend Sorani dialect is very difficult and since they use the Arabic-Persian alphabet, it is impossible for any Kurdish state to be established in the future to be the official language. I do not think that Kurmanji Kurds will adopt the Arabic-Persian alphabet and use it. Also, a Sorani is more difficult to understand than a Chinese. Moreover, Sorani has turned into a mixture of Arabic, Turkish and Persian languages ​​rather than Kurdish today. Therefore, it is more correct and necessary for the Kurmanji language to be the official language and to use the Latin alphabet.

There is a theory that Kurmanji comes from the word kur meaning son In Kurdish. However, I only know "kur" means son In sorani as a native speaker. I don’t know kurmanji. The other word "manjji" has different origin of etomologies. It means magic coming from the magi from the there wise men In the Bible who are belived to have migrated from Persia to visit baby Jesus. But also reffering to Madi or Mada reffering to the Medes/Medians. So In full translation It would be “son of Medes”. Personally I think they are both connected.

Hmm yes, Kurdistan best city

On the Kurdish people I suspect that they may actually be the living decedents of the Babylonians while the people of Syria may be the living decedents of The Assyrians but very Arabanised while there are the Assyrians who retained their identity. As for the people of Iraq I suspect them to be the living decedents of The Sumerians.

Some evidence for this might be nice given that genetics hugely disprove this. Kurds are Indo-European for a start, not Semitic nor Sumerian. Assyrians are a bit of a mix but for the most part, they're still descended from the original ones

Currently, the biggest opportunity for the Kurds to build a country is on the verge of war with Iran vs. Afghanistan. In this situation, if they secure Afghanistan's territory, declare the country, and strengthen the border with Iran, they can build a country sufficiently. We can do it the way Israel does it.

The Kurdish Languages

Do you have a issue with stating that Kurdish is an Iranic (Iranian) language??? Your video makes it appears as though Kurdish is unrelated to other languages in the region, but give the full picture.. Kurdish is not a Semitic or Turkic language and is one of the north western Iranian languages along with Baluchi … and is closely related to Persian Your omission of the full facts is political ..

Unless the world collapses in a gigantic crisis, a Kurdish state can only be possible if one of the four states surrounding it supports its existence and thus the Kurdish nationalists give up on taking the Kurdish territories of that state this is since any Kurdish state, even in its greatest form would be landlocked and surrounded with unfriendly countries,which unlike in Europe, is not gonna be fine. Though some Kurdish nationalists often try to solve this by conjuring up coastlines in their proposed maps, these attempts rely on annexing regions with neither current nor historic Kurdish majority such as the Pontic and Hatay regions in Turkey or faking Lurs (a different ethnicity in Iran) as Kurds. The best country for this is probably Iran after the inevitable fall of the current regime, as unlike Arabs and Turks in Turkey, Syria and Iraq, the majority of none-Kurdish people of Iran are closely related to the Kurds in culture, mythology, history and language and the current movement has the Kurds at its heart with its main slogan "Woman, Life, Freedom" and its greatest martyr being Kurdish.

You raise a good point. I think if a Kurdish state was to arise peacefully, it would likely be the current borders of Iraqi Kurdistan. But this would leave many many Kurds out of the new state. Rojava in Syria is another potential area for it, maybe even the current borders of both Iraqi Kurdistan and Rojava combined would be used to create the new state. Turkiye is very unlikely to give up any lands, they hate the Kurds and that is a well known fact. I've seen some proposals that include the Turkish territory of Hatay (idk if it's still called that) for Kurdish coastline, but this would definitely cause problems. I think it's definitely possible a Kurdish state could arise, but not without problems, blood and fire. As war continues to rage on in the Middle East, especially Syria, it could be brought back into question. Also depending on what happens in Irân, they might get a new government that is more sympathetic if the revolution picks up more momentum, it's hard to say at the moment

Kurdish dialects are interchangeable, and are not languages. the loan words from different countries are what makes people confused when Kurds of from different regions as not all of them speak Arabic Turkish or Persian, Kurds from Turkey use a lot of Turkish words or kurdifide Turkish words as they were subjected to worst oppression of language and culture and still are to a large degree.

Hello, thank you for the video. I am a Kurd from Turkey. yes, I admit that I realize that the Zaza language is not the Kurdish language. yes, it is obvious from the fact that it is close to northern Iran, that is, southern Caspian languages, in origin. Although it is very much influenced by the Kurmanji language, it does not change this. Zaza is an ergativ language, the reason for this is that it is very influenced by the editor. Since they are in close geography and contacts with Kurman speakers, they have been affected by the ergativism of the Kurman language and made this language ergativ.

Kurmanji didn't effectwd by Zazaki. Zazaki effected by Kurmanji as ergativism. Because Caspian and other Iranian languages aren't Ergative. Only Kurdish languages are ergative. It came from our archaic ancestors. Before the Indo-European migrations Kurds were Zagro-Taurusian people. After the Iranic migrations a new nation created in Zagros mountains as Kurd. Kurds=Iranic+Zagro-Taurusian. Even today there are thousands of words and grammar that do not match with Indo-European and other neighboring languages in Kurdish languages.
