    The dislikes on this video shows how even such an innocent video on our language can bring in so much hate. Our oppressors do not have a problem with particular groups, they have a problem with the Kurdish existence. Our oppressors have stolen everything from us, hence why anything Kurdish threatens their whole existence. Keep hating, you only make us stronger. Bijî Kurdistan, Bijî Kurd. Thank you for your beautiful video on our language.

    The word "human" in Kurdish is very interesting.
    In Kurmanji one says for the word "human" Mirov / Meriv which means mortal in real, from the word Mir / Mer for death.
    In Sorani, Piyawekan is said to mean "man" which means "risen". Mortal and Risen. Very interesting, also from a philosophical point of view.

    I made friends with a bunch of Kurds in middle school and high school, when I played soccer. By far some of the greatest people I have ever known; I suppose it is true that hardship builds character. 2 Iraq Kurds, 2 Turkish Kurds, and 1 Iranian Kurd. I recall they were able to speak in Kurdish with one another, though I don't know to what degree, and not one of them spoke any fewer than 3 languages. One of them, named Ako, was fluent in Kurdish, Turkish, English, Arabic, and German. Last I knew, he was living in Italy, so I presume he had no trouble adding Italian to his impressive resume.

    I always notice Indo-European connections. Jin in Kurdish appears to be a cognate of жінка (zhinka) in Ukrainian. Also, Kurdish the verb dîtin "to see" is similar to Ukrainian (watch) дивитися (dyvytysja). Object pronoun "Min" in Kurdish resembles мене (mene) in Ukrainian. Also, the negative particle "ne" is virtually the same in Kurdish and Ukrainian. I noticed numerous other examples of similarity as well.
    Amazing how Indo-European languages have this kind of similarity, but you have to look deeply to notice it.

    My family's origin is Turkish but been mixing with local Kurds from Canbeg tribe for almost 150 years which makes us almost no different than local Kurds. My grandfathers and father grew up bilingual. But the point is that they don't understand dialects of other tribes and other cities fluently but get the meaning of their sentences, songs etc. When I show them cultural stuff from the Canbeg tribes from other cities, they understand these people more than others. But for Sorani and Gorani, they think it's almost completly different.
    As for the new generation, they're more open in terms of understanding the structure of other dialects of Kurdish in other cities and regions. Because they're seeing vocabulary from the materials on the internet and the social media. Just like other family groups, it makes it easier to see other dialects of a language group on a common alphabet system. I also experienced it from Turkic languages. When they put their sentences into Latin alphabet, it's easier for a Turkish speaker to understand more of Turkmen, Kazakh,Kyrgyz,Uyghur etc languages. Because you can't notice it by speaking and miss to hearing many words

    @ezmanb2576 Před 7 lety +135

    I'm a Kurmanji speaker and I studied Kurdish Literature in University, after 20 years of Turkish education. I will try to answer your questions due to my experience:
    1- How easy to communicate with speakers of other dialects:
    It really depends. As you may know, Kurmanji has different accents as well. I can communicate without no problem a Kurmanj from Urmiye(Iran), Qamishlo(Rojava), Diyarbakir(Turkey) and Shingal(Kurdistan Regional Government), we have almost the same accent. But I face with some diffuclties when I speak a Kurmanj from Cizre(Turkey) or Hakkari(Turkey) even if they are geographically closer.
    About communication with a Soran (Sorani speaker) as a Kurmanj, it's a bit hard at the beginning as they speak very fast. But less than a month work, can make a Kurmanj to be able to understand from them easily. On the other hand when I read today's literature of Sorani, I understand less than half. But when I read modern literature of 100 years ago, I understand more than 70-80 percent. It's beucase of the modernism process of Sorani between 1930-1980s as they removed many non-kurdish words from their language and brought kurdish descent words instead. Kurmanji and sorani become distant from each other.
    About understanding zazaki: A regular kurmanj who has no education doesn't understand zazaki that much. But as I've seen that zazakî and kurmanji grammar is closer than kurmanji and sorani. The difference is more phonetical, which is not exist between Kurmanji and Sorani. Another thing: Every Zaza, who speaks well Zazaki, understands well from Kurmanji. It may have sociological reasons.
    2- Do you consider all dialects of single language:
    It depends on that we speak which perspective. As I know, It's "Kurdish Languages" in linguistic perspective. From the sociological perspective, we can say that it's one language. For example: When we speak Kurmanji, we say "I'm Kurd / I speak Kurdish", we say for Sorans "They speak Sorani". But when a Soran speak in his own dialect, he might say "I'm Kurd / I speak Kurdish", and he might say for us "They speak Bahdini/Kurmanji".
    3- Challenges:
    The study materials getting better everyday, but still not enough. Ergativity and gender are complex at the beginning. Pronunciation is hard, because there are a lot of voices. We learn many new words that you cannot hear them on streets but can read in books.
    4- General experience: I cannot more agree with claim that says "Biggest challenge of Kurdish is not ergativity, but variety of language." Another problem is Kurmanji speaker studies in other languages and uses Kurmanji only at home or in streets. By the time, "the other language" starts to dominate their language mechanism, especially new generation of technology. It becomes harder the make art or literature with it...

    Very interesting!

It might not "immediately" make sense, but with a bit of deconstruction, it's certainly intelligible.

    As a Syrian Kurdish who wasn’t taught how to write or read in Turkish for only the last year before I moved to UK, I can say that understanding the Sorani language is really difficult for me. I have friends her I can understand some words but mostly I can’t understand them. I hope one day I will learn Kurmanji and that one day kurds will all be united in one country.

      Kurdish is very close to Slavic languages, and to Latin language. If the Turks have not occupied what is nowadays called Turkey, the Kurds neighbors would now be Slavic people and Greek people.

    I am kurd from Rojava , and I can speak the three Kurdish Dialects :
    Kurmanjî , Badînî and Soranî.
    Concerning your question, the Kurdish language is one and divides into three basic branches and some minor ones like zazakî and goranî.
    I have been in Başûr (Iraqi Kurdistan ) for five years and I found a lot of mutual words.the difficulty is in the way they combine this words , the composition of the sentence.
    Another significant difference that you didn’t mention in your video is the use of letter V.
    In kurmanjî it is excessively used while in Soranî they use (W or Y ) instead of it.
    For example :
    Onion , pîvaz , piyaz
    Shepard, şivan, şiwan
    Water , av , aw
    Guest , mêvan , mêwan
    =====
    Finally, I would like to thank you for this great video.

    I speak Sorani and i understand all of the Kurdish dialects but not 100%. Its important to notice that even Sorani or Kurmanji can sound different from one city to another. Because of assimilation policies by Iraq, Iran and Turkey, the Kurdish dialects are heavily influenced in some cities. I.e in Kirkuk, where they more frequently use Arabic words, since Kurdish was prohibited under Saddams regime. I also speak 3 other languages and understand 7-8 in total. Kurdish is a great door-opened to learn new languages. You learn to basically pronounce every vocal there is. Thanks for a precise video ✌🏽

The great thing about being a Kurdish native speaker is that you have the opportunity to learn a variety of languages and other Kurdish dialects. The way we pronounce the words helps us learn Arabic easily. Common words make it easier to understand and speak Farsi as well. Also, naturally, we enjoy reading (and listening to) Kurdish, Farsi, and Arabic poems (and songs).

      @@hiliax Yes you are right. Frankly, I didn't understand it at all when I first started studying Sorani, but then I realized that although these two beautiful dialects look quite different from each other, they are very similar. Because it's the same language. I watched videos and listened to songs. In this way, I developed myself a little more. Anyway, I just want to say this. Sorani is a very beautiful dialect. If you can speak this dialect, know that you are very lucky. Because I would really like to be able to speak Sorani. 🥰🥰🥰(I've talked too much, sorry 😁)

    as a Kurd from duhok city in Kurdistan, our people here generally understand and speak well both Sorani and Kurmanji plus most of the older generations understand Zazaki hawramani and other dialects pretty well!! ofc majority of Kurds talk more than 2 to 3 languages from Turkish to Persian to Arabic and usually German and English!
