I filmed this video back in December, and yes it took me that long to edit it. I first thought of it as an act of support to the protests in Iran that were triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini (who was Kurdish by the way) back in 2022. As I already had a video about Persian, I decided to make this video on Kurdish and to donate the income from it. I haven't decided yet what is the most appropriate organisation, is it helping Kurdish refugees, or helping refugees from Iran, or helping all refugees, but I'll put it here when I make my decision. In the meanwhile, enjoy learning about Kurdish!
Kurdish language is spoken in the region of Kurdistan by the Kurdish people - a largest nation that doesn't have a country. It is spoken across several countries throughout the Middle East and it has a very different status in each of those countries. Kurdish language may be spoken in the Middle East, but it is not related to Arabic or Turkish. Instead, together with Persian, it is included in the Indo-European language family, that contains also many Indian and European languages, including English. That's right, Kurdish is closer to English than to Arabic! And there are many more unique and interesting features of Kurdish that we explore in this video!

EĞER-ISE ve İSE-EĞER yapıları "koşul" belirtmek için kullanılır ve çoğunlukla birbirinin yerine kullanılabilirler.
İSE-EĞER: "If ever" anlamına gelir ve gerçekleşme olasılığı daha yüksek olan bir koşulu ifade eder.

EĞER-ISE: "Even if" anlamına gelir ve gerçekleşme olasılığı daha düşük olan bir koşulu ifade eder.
"Even if it rains tomorrow, I will go for a walk." (Yarın yürüyüşe çıkacağım, eğer yağmur yağıyor olsa dahi ) or (Yarın yağmur yağsa bile yürüyüşe çıkacağım.)
“Why should i go to work, (even) if I'm not getting my salary” = Eğer maaşımı alamıyorsam, neden işe gideyim ki.
Fun fact theyre not dialects theyre different languages and pahlewani is a Persian dialect. Us Persians can understand them but soranis and kurmanjis cant
Also another thing to keep in mind is that Persians did not come from the south. We came from Parsua and Parsumesh, both originally in western and north western Iran as displayed in your video and map. Persians later conquered the elamite anshan city in the south and established new Parsa. There were 3 if not more Persian tribes all over Iran.
As a Zaza Kurd I am truly amazed how well you presented our history and struggle to keep our language alive. Not to mention how embarrassed I am you know our history more than I do. Just want to say thank you!

What's interesting is Dengbêj seems to be very similar to the Ancient Greek art of epic poetry (think Homer)
It can be very possible that there are cultural exchanges in that geography.
@@cemyildiz7842 potentially. Alexander of Makedon did take over the area with his Hellenic Empire
It was likely influenced by them. Greeks ruled the Persian Empire after Alexander's conquests and Greek settlements. They promoted their arts. Even after getting rid of the Greek dynasties, their influence stayed and was blended into the wider Persian culture.
@@napoleonfeanor There are even deeper connections. Greek culture and architecture has a great influence from Syriac, Phoenician, Luwian, Babylonian and Egyptian cultures as well. The Greek letters are just a variation of Phoenician alphabet.
Hurrian, Hittite, Luwian, Egyptian etc. civilizations were dominant but after the end of bronze age and Hellenic or Sea People's invade on Anatolia, all those ancient civilizations were fallen (except Egypt) and it ended up by rise of Hellenic culture.
Kurdish and Greeks has long pre history era together so I’m sure we share even DNA s
As always, this was a treat for me! Thanks Julie.

Great video. And about the dialects, don’t forget Hawrami, it’s also a dialect alongside Kurmanji, badini and Sorani. Mostly spoken in eastern part of Great Kurdistan.
I am Badini myself, Badini is sub-accent of Kurmanji which means it is not an official Kurdish dialect.

As a native Persian speaker i can understand 85% of Pahlewani and 50% Sorani but only 25% Kurmanji

As a Kurmanjî speaker I’ve noticed that I understand Dari speakers from Afghanistan more than Farsi speakers from Iran. I don’t know why but many words & also the pronunciation in Dari are kinda similar even though Farsi, Sorani & Dari are sounding very soft compared to Kurmanjî

As a Persian speaker I could catch 2, 3 vocab from kurmanji part of the video.
But I could comprehend 30% 40% of Sorani part.
The Kurdish verb conjugation I'd say make sense to me!
it reminds me to verb conjugation in Farsi.
To know = Zanin ~= Danestan
It's like Danestan changed to zanestan
Danam -> zanem
Dani -> zanì
...
Danim -> Zanim
I don't know:
Nadanam -> nazanem
While "nadanam" exist and is valid in Persian, modern pronunciation is "ne mi danam"
Thank you for this Video 🙏
And
Bejì Kurdistan ❤
Nothing "changed", it was never "d" in Kurdish instead of "z". If you go back to the past, it was "dz" in Kurdish and in Persian as well. Later changed to "d" in old Persian and to "z" in Kurdish (or the ancestor of the Kurdish language)
@@kurdekibedin1347 Just like "Damad" and "Zava"
As native kurdish speaker I completely agree with you , similarities between kurdish sorani and Persian is amazing, kurdish sorani and Persian use same grammar and alphabet, just Persian little different because of added some arabic like ص ض ط غ ذ ، all sorani speakers don’t need to speak Persian just to understand the language, naturally everyone understands it ,
It is because the sorani is iranian inside of iran and on iranian border while Kurmanci is in turkey syria and north west iraq on turkish and syrian border very far away from iran.
In southern Kurdish dialects Instead. Zanin. They say. Zanist
I Knew. Zanistim

4:38 the meaning of the Kurdish name has been called to people belonging to the nomadic lifestyle after Islam, and this meaning is not only nomadic, but the meaning of the word Kurdish. it completely changes. in ancient Pahlavi, it meant "warrior valiant or hero" instead of nomadism. Buddha was a meaning before Islam.The reason why this name means "valiant or valiant warrior" is that the Kurds were in an invincible power of powerful warrior tribes in ancient times and served in many kingdoms, empires and therefore gained fame in the region. because the Kurdish ethnic group, for example, the phrase similar to the expression "strong as a lion" has acquired the meanings of "warrior valiant or hero", such as "warrior like a Kurd" in the mouths of many people. However, this meaning was related to nomadism and herding according to the perception of Islamic scholars and the people of the region, the way of life of the Kurds after Islam. The nomadic life and lifestyle of the Kurds are identified with their ethnic origins. In the eyes of the Sassanids or Persians, the word "kurd" was referred to as "the people living in a nomad tent" rather than a specific people. For this reason, the non-Kurdish but nomadic Armenian, Syriac, Persian and Arab shepherds in the region have also been called Kurds because they have a lifestyle similar to the Kurds. for example, the Arabs "Kurdish Armenians", "Kurdish Arabs or Persian" Arabs who came to Kurdistan when the Arabs spread Islam took this word from Persian and wrote it in history in the same sense. Although this word is used in the sense of nomad, recent research has shown that the Kurdish word meaning comes from surmer tablets. or korchayk" is pronounced as different tribes as "Cardu" in Assyrians, but they live in the same ethnic groups speaking the same language. Yes, there is a people called Kurds. This was the meaning until the advent of Islam. but although this word means nomad, there was also an ethnic group known as Kurds in the early periods of Islam. It had a cultural language that was separated from many peoples living in the region and was seen as different from other peoples. the biggest proof of this is 9. it has been identified in the work of Dinavari, the greatest botanist of the golden age of Islam who lived in the century. and gradually the word Kurdish began to take on an ethnic meaning. 15. - 16. until the century.
and you're a very beautiful girl. you look like a relative of mine.
I thank you for such a concise lesson in their history. Indeed an astounding people.
Kurds = Medes = Maad, are Iranian people who are Aryans. Cyrus the great was born from a Kurdish mother and a Persian father.
It is not YAZIDI which is an Arabic word for a Muslim Emam. It is IZADI derived fron the Iranian/Persian word IZAD = God and the religion is related to the ancient Iranian religion of ZOROASTRIAN (Mithraic).
It's not a Persian word it's Kurdish Kurmanji. Ezidî/Yazidi (Ez + da): the person who created me.
Xweda (Xwe + da) creator(god).
And it's not related with izadi
@@Ebru_33 Kurdish is a branch of the Iranian language. My mom is a Sorani kurd and my dad Lor from Zagress mountains. Don't be bias!
Xweda (Kurdish) = Khoda (Persian) (Khod + A = (self + life within = God, creator)
It’s from kurmanci not Persian ! It’s ezda ezidia or ezdaya have nothing to do with you and your parsiks ! Kurdistan belongs to Kurds not anyone else !
@@thescientist4919 Here comes your racist ignorance! Good thing my blood is 100% Kurd. I am a proud Iranian and Kurd! Even Cyrus the great was from a Kurd mom (Anahita) and a Persian dad. They are both Aryans from a different tribes. No need to talk with a narrow minded person. My Kurd mom taught us: "We are all God's children!"
@@jonam7589 Speak for yourself! We Kurds are not fully Iranic. We are descendants of the ancient Zagro-Taurusians (Hurri(Mannean-Subartuans-Gutti-Kassites)). After the iranic migrations those isolated group's childrens(old kurds) started speak an irano-kurdic synthesis language. Even in the modern Kurdish languages there are thousands of words that do not match with Indo-European and other neighboring languages.

Just to Correct you: the 1st formally known written modern Kurdish is a POEM dating back to 800 ad, right after the Islamic Conquest of Kurdistan and ancient Iran. It describes the events of what has happened, how Zoroastrians have been repressed etc. The poem was written in Pahlavi script, found in Suleimani province.

History speaks go and study they have long and magnificent history actually they were the first biggest empire ever before they defeat Assyrian empire and made a vast empire
Not really. You also cannot completely equate ancient Mehdes with modern Kurds. It's like saying modern Italians are Romans
@@napoleonfeanor so we can say ancient Egyptian are not the ancestors of modern Egypt as well as for the Persian and French and go on first thinking is not a bad idea
@@napoleonfeanor
a Great mass of the Kurds are descended from the Medes though some are the the successors of Mantieni, Kadusii, and Kassaei or Saqae. “ Konrad Mannert 1756-1834 Prussian historian
"The Greeks [Byzantines] held the lordship of Egypt through generals and administrators who collected the
taxes and sent them to the Emperor. They ruled until the year 704. The Egyptians, however, not wanting to
endure such a burden, surrendered to the Saracens. And they chose their lord from the clan of Muhammad
[and called him Caliph. And all their lords have been called caliphs. oe68] They held that lordship for 347
years. Then those Medians called Kurds occupied the lordship of Egypt. " Hayton of Corycus 1235-1308
so kurds' medes origin is historical thing not theory. it is fact so if you deny it you must have to good proofs.otherwise it will be ridicilous like english are not germanic or france language is not latin language. kurds are medes you can't compare it with italians are romans or today assyrians are ancient assyrians. because these are made-up things assyrians are not speaking ancient assyrians language and their genetic is very different from semitic people.(they have strong iranic elements). and italians are speaking a latin language but specialy northern are remnant of romanizied germans which like france people. probly roman blood in syrians are more powerful than these 2 ethnicities.

Thanks for your Video and your linguistic knowledge and informations,but It is very wrong to say that Kurdish people they don't have a country which is a geographical location only , simply because state or bureaucratic institutions does not represent a country or the people either, historically states since the Sumerian (ancient times) only represent social hierarchical system in a nutshell states represent ruling social class.
In Russia there are nearly hundred languages and the country called Russia but there are other countries inside Russia according to their languages and cultural heritage.
So called Turkey since 1923, a fascistic racist regime bans languages (Kurdish language) .
I am a native Kurdish language speaker (Sorani dialect) .
There are Kurdish language departments in many Turkish universities, you can find more than 10 Kurdish channels in TV and their medias are extremely active too.
We know, but they are all Turkish spies
If I wasn't a Kurd living in Turkey, I would believe what you say. This is not your average European country, but a Middle Eastern country ruled by a dictatorship. It doesn't matter if we elect a Kurdish mayor because the state puts their puppets in jail and puts their own puppets on the stage. They are also removing the few existing Kurdish signs. If a Kurdish term is used in the national assembly, it is referred to as "invalid language". Universities in Turkey can't even take care of themselves. Every year, the state appoints 3 Kurdish teachers to these departments you mentioned. Probably to make fun of (!) In short, it has been forbidden for many years.
Since being Kurdish was forbidden, they had to live as Mountain Turks.
Yes, they went to jail when they claimed to be Kurds. It's not a joke.
Today, it has become a language that is in danger of extinction because people are ashamed to speak their own language.
. After the Armenians and Greeks, it was the turn of the Kurds. Here is Turkey's 100-year-old minority policy. Also, if you live in Turkey, you know that the words "Kurd" and "Armenian" are used as insults.
Sorry but which TV channels are you talking about? There isn’t one official Kurdish TV channel other than TRT Kurdî which is run by the Erdogan Regime. The argument that there are classes or „departments“ like you said for the Kurdish language at the universities in Turkey is another fabrication Turks want to believe. There are only 3-4 Kurdish institutions where you can teach & study the language. For a population of 25-30 million Kurds living in East Anatolia a joke. So the smartest & easiest way to find out if Kurdish is not a oppressed language is to ask if the Kurdish language is an official language of Turkey. And it’s not. But not only that it’s not an official language it’s even not recognized as a (spoken) language in Turkey which means the Turkish state denies the existence of Kurdish.

Interesting. A couple of fun adds: I speak no Kurdish but I do know Persian. I find I can understand many Kurmanji nouns, and the numbers are essentially the same, which works great at the bazaar since I vastly prefer haggling in familiar IE Persian numbers instead of unfamiliar Altaic Turkish ones.
Ergativity: Aramaic (Turoyo) which is spoken in part of the Kurmanji area, is also ergative. It is of course unrelated and works completely differently, except for that.
The Kurdish language has been under constant oppression for a century after dividing the nation over four alien states: Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria.

Appreciate Julia for your effort. After waiting for a long time, It`s really great to see this episode. Moreover, I would like to add some more knowledges that Kurdish native speakers especially who speaks kurmancî dialect in Turkey part. Mostly, From 70s to 90s most Kurdish families had to immigrate from east of Turkey which is Kurdistan to the west part of Turkey great cities like Istanbul and Izmir. Therefore, Immigrated Kurdish people survived with their dialect and their population also has been increased now. And after Rojava revolution In Rojava against ISIS It`s been 11 years that in autonomous region in Northern syria, Kurdish is official education language.
Thanks in advance!

The exact origins of the name Kurd are unclear. The underlying toponym is recorded in Assyrian as Qardu and in Middle Bronze Age Sumerian as Kar-da. Assyrian Qardu refers to an area in the upper Tigris basin, and it is presumably reflected in corrupted form in Classical Arabic Ǧūdī, re-adopted in Kurdish as Cûdî. The name would be continued as the first element in the toponym Corduene, mentioned by Xenophon as the tribe who opposed the retreat of the Ten Thousand through the mountains north of Mesopotamia in the 4th century BC.
That’s been debunked already
Great video but the first recorded Kurdish texts definitely don't come in the 18th century! For example in the 9th century Ali Hariri (1009-1079) from the Hakkari region is one of the first well-known poets who wrote in Kurmanji Kurdish. And there are many more! Ahmed Xani is however the most popular, well-known one. Other are: Balül (9th century)
Mele Perîşan (14th century, Mela Hesenê Bateyî or (Melayê Bateyî) (1417-1491). Also, Kurds are mentioned in many texts before such as Al-Masudi, Al-Maqdisi, and Ibn Rustah, make reference to the Kurds in the text from the 9th century.
Thank you, it’s quite accurate and comprehensive ☀️
Hey Juli! Are you planning on talking about the Romani language varieties?

Kurdish belongs to the Indo-European family. It is widely spoken in Kurdistan, a region that forms part of a number of countries (Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Armenia and Georgia). There are a number of dialects (such as Sorani, Kurmanji, Gorani, etc.) but the main two dialects of modern literary Kurdish are Kurmanji and Sorani. Kurmanji and Sorani are not mutually intelligible; they differ from each other at basic structural levels as well as in vocabulary and idioms. For instance, unlike Kurmanji, Sorani has no future tense in the present habitual or progressive verb (Thackston 2006).
Sorani, to date, is the second official language of Iraq, and it is spoken by approximately 11 million Kurds scattered mainly across Northern Iraq and Western Iran.
She already mentioned most of that. Basically two Kurdish languages.
Yeah, we watched the video too.
Linguists agree that the difference between Kurmanji and Sorani are like English and German.
@@kedici2583 Hi,
I don’t agree with this comparison. I, as a Kurmanji speaker, can communicate quite freely and talk about so many subjects with Sorani speakers, even with some Pehlewani speakers. How many sentences could monolingual English and German speakers exchange?

Azeries are not Iranian but Turkic. They speak Turkish.
@@farsamfarhadi-sw4ql Iran wants to keep its territorial integrity with shia sectariansm and Persian identity. Realities can't be changed by distorting the facts. Azeris are Turkic, speak Turkish and feel Turkish.
@@kedici2583 You can hope for yourself, but my cousin is from Zanjan with his wife who is from Ardabili. They gave a genetic test, both of them had 90% Iranian genes and 10% Caucasian genes (Georgian, Armenian, etc.). I am Iranian and I am proud of Babak and Zoroaster, not chengis
@@kedici2583
Azaris are Iranic ethnicity speaking a Turkic language.
Plus, Iran has nothing to do with "Persian Identity".
@@kedici2583 actually Azeris are original Iranic people but were invaded by Turkic people
today they are mixed people who has Iranic and Turkic genes they used to speak Old Azari even the name of the country Azerbaijan means the land of holy fire the religion that was followed was Zoroastrianism in Azerbaijan they speak a Turkic language today
I really wish people would stop spreading misinformation about KWRT as Nomadic tent dwellers that comes from Persian. This is why we hate being referring to as Iranian since they keep spreading misinformation about us and our culture. Kwrt or Kwirti is a Hurrian word for our people. Persians don't even call us Kurd or Kurt. They call us Koord. Literally sounds nothing like KWRT. Our name comes from Hurrian age. Either than that, great video.
Kurdish is a beautiful language!🔥💥 It's some similarities to Persian but I still can't define it🙃
Thank you so much for supporting Mahsa Amini Protests btw💥❤️❤️(mentioned in description)
Love and respect from Iran!❤️🩶💚
Your videos are just what I wanted... I love languages and would love to leran more about htis things like who they came to be what they are. Thank you for making this videos.
I was blessed to experience Kurdish storytellers in Diyarbakir Turkey. Diyarbakir also has a small Syriac speaking community. Aramaic would be great a video. The Turkish singer Merve Tanrıkulu who is of Pontic Greek descent put an album in Pontic Greek.
I think you are a Rum ?
Thank you for this video. It's really interesting. I am from Central Europe and like languages as a hobby. I speak German, Polish, English native or almost fluently. a bit French, Italian, a little Spanish, Russian, Hebrew, know the Arabic letters and so I am a junkie of languages and research other languages all the time. I like your short clear description. As a first introduction it is perfect. Not like other videos that make 10 minutes blabla or are overwhelming immediately.
So thank you thank you thank you. Great job!
From experience, Iraqi Arabic borrows a lot of Kurdish words.
It is not 30 millions kurds 73 millions
Not its 170 millions
Algeria in 2001, and ten years later it became a constitutionally official language in Morocco. These developments have extended the use of Berber to the public domain (e.g., some schools, media outlets, and magazines). Nonetheless, when a Moroccan Arab and a Moroccan Berber meet, the customarily medium of com munication would be Moroccan Arabic possibly because Berber speakers also command Moroccan Arabic and not the opposite.
Kurdish is another language that competes for space in the Arabic socio linguistic scene. Kurdish is not a single language, but several languages that are spoken by diverse speech communities spread over areas in southeastern Turkey, western Iran, northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, and smaller parts of Geor gia and Armenia.20 The existence of the Kurdish people in the north parts of the Arab Middle East predates the existence of Arabs in this region (McDowall, 2004; Vali, 2003). Kurdish languages are not mutually intelligible, although they often share a wide range of linguistic properties (Hassanpour, 2012; McDowall, 2004; Meho & Maglaughlin, 2001; Vali, 2003). Within the Arab context, Kurdish is spoken mainly in northern Iraq and in small parts in northern Syria. Like Ber ber, Kurdish had conventionally been a spoken language (McDowall, 2004; Vali, 2003). Since 2003, however, Kurdish has become an official language in Iraq, and henceforward, it came to be used in administration, schools and universities, media, and print. With the current conflict in Syria, the Kurds may replicate the Iraq experience in terms of making Kurdish an official language within a pro spective autonomous state. Outside the Kurd-dominated areas, however, Kurdish has often had meager presence and influence compared to the Syrian and Iraqi dialects (O'Shea, 2004; Sheyholislami, 2008). However, the situation is changing, particularly in the Iraqi context.
While the presence of Berber and Kurdish is confined to certain parts of the Arab World, English and, to a lesser extent, French are two global languages whose influence is felt in various parts of the Arabic sociolinguistic arena.
And Arabic is also a multitude of languages. It is called one language with "dialects" for political reasons...same with Chinese.
I wonder if there is a kind of dialect continuum in spoken Kurdish like there was in extended German lands until Low German got suppressed more and more, which has been completing the process of separating the West Fraconian dialects of Low German (the other main branch of Low German being the suppressed wider Saxon ones although some localities in the FRG try to revive them as well as actual Frisian by teaching them at school ) from standard (High German based) German.
I would love a Low German revival. My area has no dialect anymore to such a degree that universities here a popular with foreign students because the still strong dialect in Bavaria, Swabia, (Upper-)Saxony etc. can be hard to understand for people who only studied standard German....

Thhank you and silav :)
I was just opening your channel to recommend some languages(unfortunately I do not have the money for Patreon)then I saw your new video about Kurdish, which was one of the languages I would like to recommend. So I will recommend Chuvash, which is a highly cool Turkic language. Thanks for taking to attention, from a Kurdo-Turkish guy, long live the brotherhood of Turks and Kurds.
What are you talking about , can’t be Turkish kurdish , msn educate yourself and don’t fool yourself, if there’s any Turk kurd brotherhood then why are you not allowed study and speak your own language,, we kurd hate turks to the grave
woah, cool!
One thing about Sorani that it is not always SOV
Sometimes it's SVO
For example
"I'm going to work" would be:
Min bo kar derrom
Min: subject
Kar: object
Derrom: verb
But you can also flip it around and say:
Min derrom bo kar
Now it's SVO but you usually use this 2nd one after somebody asks you what you are doing so it's usually said as an answer to a question
My Love Julie!
Kurdistan. Sulaymanyah. Sorani 🤍🤍Thank you for make a video about my Language
this comment section got heavily political and racist in a matter of days which is no surprise I'm sorry, what caused that is that you referred to us kurds as humans but still Thank you for that and this video as a whole.
Please make a vedio on the Bengali language
It is a very beautiful language with rich literary heritage.
Please 🙏 It's my humble request to you
In Turkey it is not banned to use Kurdish language, not anymore for a long time; there is a government TV Channel named TRT Kurdi and there are many independent Kurdish media and language courses. There are also many organizations working on kurdish language and culture. They had a tough history but it is significantly better nowadays. There are many political problems about politics in Kurdish majority areas that also involves one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world, but as a conclusion, Kurdish is not banned.
go spread your turkish fascist propaganda somewhere else

don’t lie kurdish people can simply point out all your lies dear turk😂 go take a look at the prisons in turkey it’s full of kurdish people that were simply speaking kurdish wrirting kurdish poems singing kurdish songs, singing in kurdish is still banned in one of the most famous turkish tv show “ o ses turkey” meanwhile people can sing in any language but not kurdish😂
To find out about Kurdish history, you can read books (The Lost and Untold History of the Kurds) written by “Soran hamarash”
Soran Hamarash, a Kurdish writer, academic, historian, and linguist, has devoted almost 30 years of his life to studying the Kurds and their history. His book takes readers on a comprehensive journey through the beginnings of writing and agriculture, which are integral to the earliest civilizations and the history of the Kurds.
Thx for filming informative video about Kurdish language and culture. I hope you kee filming more beautiful videos about Kurdish language and culture.
Could u do a video about the language #tamazigh ? It would be really interesting. :) thanks
As a Kurd I would be interested too! 🙌
Love to the Amazigh people 🙏
The part were you mentioned "Kurd" in middle persian means nomad or tent dweller is absolutely incorrect. This is theorized by racist ultra-nationalist Persian historians. Someone below correctly mentioned about the term Kurd.

02:05 Your're wrong about restrictions in Turkiye. Kurdish is allowed in media and education. There's a government TV Channel named TRT 6 broadcasts in Kurdish and any student who wants to study in Kurdish, there's a optinal lesson to take.
lol you somehow think you said something good here, why don’t you ask your Kurds if there is education and restrictions in Kurdish in Turkey?
Actually don’t because if you don’t like their honesty answers you’d just get them in to trouble.
@@johnrimhong4287 dude i don’t have any Kurd, but i have lots of Kurd friends like any guy who lives in Turkiye. Relax… Anyway, i never said it’s perfect but right now there is no legal obstacle for consuming Kurdish media content or learning Kurdish in school.
@@supergurc again tell that to your Kurdish “friends” but again don’t.
It’s amazing how all Turks have Kurdish friends yet they don’t know a single thing about them or anything Kurdish, tells a lot doesn’t it.
Thank you for giving the Kurdish language attention.
Unfortunately there are some errors on Kurdish history and language in your video. For instance the Persian term for Kurd (Koord: nomad) is not the same as Kurd (qurti, goti) that's just one way far right Pan-Iranists try to discredit the Kurdish people, they claim Kurds are no more than Persian nomads because of the similarity between those two words. Also the different Kurdish dialects have never been consider as different languages, look at their grammar and you'll quickly realize that it's the same language. There are many more such errors that are pulled from Wikipedia type sources which is edited and posted by the regimes of those countries that you mentioned that have banned or ristricted Kurds. They are actively trying to discredit Kurds and everything Kurdish including Kurdish history, language etc.
It is your imagination 😂
Lovely girl thanks for the good info i’m pashtun
To all Non-Kurds please just stop educating Kurds on Kurds, thank you.
To all that want to know about kurds just ask kurds not Persians or Turks, thank you.
