What do you think about Kurdish? Do you speak a Kurdish language?

Virgin normal KZfaqrs "I made this video because my viewers wanted to see it" vs Gigachad Che Languages "I made this video because it came to me in a dream"

I hope that someday I can visit and hear these beautiful languages being spoken in person

I'm also looking forward to seeing the video about the Kurds on your other channel.

Great conclusion at the end, thanks and much appreciation from Kurdistan

Kurdish being related to Median was a huge lightbulb going on in my head. Never made that connection

Great video. The Kurdish sentence you show in 5:48 is Kurmanci written with Perso-Arabic Sorani alphabet used in south (Iraq) Kurdistan. It is the same text with the Kurmanci words you show before so "di weqar" is pronounced the same..

I like the Turkish based script more than the English based one 😳 I don't really like diagraphs like "sh" you don't know if it is ش or ـسْهـ. I think I like the Arabic script the best but vowels look a bit better in Kurmanji script 👀 My classmate studied Sorani in high school here in Sweden 😎

I speak Southern Kurdish and the letter "ۊ" or "Ü" in the Latin version of the Kurdish alphabet makes a very similar sound to the letter Ü in German and Turkish

The place looks like paradise mashalllah KURDISTAN so Beutiful

Loving the content keep it up

Awesome video!

I have no concept of any of the Middle Eastern languages, so this was all new info for me - which is why I like this channel!

Thank you so much Sir💙LOVE your vidéo 🙏

Kurdistan ❤

God bless u for making this video ❤😢u became a voice for us❤

Yay kurdish!

Thank you

Thank you bro

Quite interesting.

I hope Kurdistan is free soon! 🇵🇱💪🏼🇹🇯

Shavua tov! That's a really insightful video. Just a thought, do the Kurmanji speakers in the northern Iranian enclave have a distinct dialect or is it just that they may have a distinguishable accent?

great video. Would love to know if there are efforts to create one standardised Kurdish language? How to Sorani and Kurmanji communicate? What about tv and radio?

Interesting that that word is written "Xwarig", I would expect it to be romanized "Khuarig". Either way, cool language!

5:50 I think دوه‌قار is something like diweqaar, since I believe the unconnected ه represents an e-sound 👀

Greetings from North of Kurdistan. Kurmanji is my mother tongue. Zazas and Goran are Kurds like us Kurmanjs. We are one nation with 10 languages. Bijî Kurdistan

It still says di weqar, just a font issue, as 'e' is written with a letter that looks like h in arabic.

Good Video thanks. Zazaki is roots of Kurdish language to me. Population , Kurdish are over 45million for sure , for political reasons the occupier countries minimising it.

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.

Have you / so you ever plan on doing the Ossetian language?

I know that you have seen me around this channel a lot. Hahaha. But I speak southern Kurdish or Xwerîn خوئرین My dialect of Xwerîn is Feylî a dialect spoken in Ilam and that waw with the dots is the ü sound we have in words such as how are you çünî Mi Kurdiya Feylî/Xwerîn qasiah kam م کوردی فئیلی/خوئرین قه‌سیه‌ که‌م

Kurdish language has very rich Word range. Wikipedia has Listed on 9th Place in all World languages

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)

Is that map from the late 60's - 70's, or did you just change it yourself?

Kurmanji is also spoken by the Yazidis; as they have their very own religion, usually they are considered as a separate people, not subethnos of the Kurds.

The fact that you saw this in a dream emphasize hoe much attention you put in your work.

Where could I learn any of these?

Kurdish is divided into three or four groups, where languages from different groups are not mutually intelligible without acquired bilingualism.

Im kudrish... thank you

I had no idea Kurdish languages use latin letters! Edit: OH never mind, they only use it in turkey, that makes more sense.

Is Kurdish more often written in Latin or Arabic script

Ah yes, the Kurdish branch of Iranic languages, beautiful

The reason for the non-centralization of the Kurdish language is not because of the dialects but because of the lack of a central state and the interference of the Arabic language because of Islam and the geographical divergence also because for centuries the Kurds were dissonant between the empires and the regional states, but idont think that its to late to moderate it and centralising it but it’s hard because of lake of its own stat(Kurdistan)

I'm Kurdish (Kurmancî) speaker, thanks for video. Kurdish is not a language to be feared, as the occupiers think. 🤣

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. Because Magi is also what they called the priest In Zoroastrianism. Which was the religion of most Median citizens at the time .

As a kurd i still find it so hard to speak kurdish 😂

I’m a southern Kurdish speaker and that is not true, we do not palatalise N before s or z. Yânza is just pronounced yânza?

3:27 not banned now but still heavily discouraged and act as if it were banned.

The Feyli dialect is very odd it is very close to Pashto and Parthian than the other Kurdish dialects and I speak a southern Kurdish you want some samples or I can explain pronunciation the و with two dots I don’t recognise it because we don’t have v only W in Farsi it is Virān but we say Wirān

Hi. it's not the Arabic but mostly a Persian script. Arabic doesn't have some of the letters like: پ چ گ ژ

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.

Making a video because it came to you in a dream is the sort of thing of Biblical proportions LOL

The Kurdish Languages

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. It's a great opportunity

Hehe 4200 subs

Pray for Turkey and siyria

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 ..

no way parthian is descended from median

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.

Sorani☀️krmanji☀️hawrami☀️zaza☀️gorani and pahlawani. Xowrzmi.kurdish language kurmanji and sorani became 8th language in the wotld not all kurdish language

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.

So, you say that Zazaki and Gurani "are not Kurdish," but only the Kurds speak them! Were you thinkin while you were making this video in your sleep?

lors are kurds

You firget about one more kurdish language hawrami

Im lak and we are NOT kurd

Her biji kurdistan, they have tried so hard to make the kurds forhet their own languege.

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 Kurdish speakers also speak turkish
