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 = (EVEN-IF)
(su AKAR- yel ESER) = water flows and wind blows
İSE-EĞER = (IF-EVER)
(yel ESER- ekin EĞER)= the wind blows and bows the crops
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.
"If ever you need any help, just let me know." (Yardıma ihtiyacın olursa eğer, sadece haber ver.) or (Herhangi bir yardıma ihtiyaç duyarsan, bana haber vermen yeterli)
“If I'm not tired, we’ll visit them in the evening.” = “Yorgun değilsem eğer akşamleyin onları ziyaret ederiz”
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
Such a beautiful culture and language ❤
it may be that Persians used the word kwrt and they might have been referring it to some social grouping and in some cases to some nomadic Kurdish tribes, however the Persian were aware who the Kurds were as descended of the Medes who they took over their empire from and Change it to Medo-Persian empire as mentioned in the bible, however The Name Kurd (or) its variations have been mentioned since antiquity in fertile crescent as the Sumerians used to call people to their north Karda 3000 years ago, in addition there were mention of people Kurti, Corduene and Kardoxi all designation referring to Kurds living in the same area where they still reside. islamic and Arab sources referring to people as Kurds came much later in the 7th AD
dream further 😂
With just a little bit of practice, different Kurdish dialects are definitely understandable for each other
To each other not for each other.
what practices ? not all kurds speak standard kurmanji and sorani.
All dialects of kurdish language are understandable to educated kurdish people , I don’t understand why you saying they are distinct languages , since Kurdish people never had country on their own ,and heavily under ethnic cleansing for centuries , I’m surprised that the language is still alive, I think Kurdish geographically closer the
birth palace of proto indo Europeans language so it’s closer to that language for example word of die (mir) … etc
Also the word kurdish mentioned in summer clays as karda. So the Parisian name kwrt for nomad I doubt that , for political reasons kurdish culture language population are played against by the occupier countries like Turks , Arabs and Fars
@@simko28 kurds had their countries. But they were not that great.

Hi i am zaza kurd from turkey. There are about 22-25 million kurds in turkey. Unfortunately many kurds there can't speak their language amymore, due to assimilation process driven by the turkish gouvernment.
Bölünerek mi çoğalıyorsunuz olm, ne ara 25 milyon oldunuz?
@@Kara_Pabuc for over 20 years they say that the Kurdish population is around 15-20 million. We have 2023 now & you can be sure that it’s way more than 25 million and most assimilated Turks are genetically Kurds. Do you also look Chinese like Serdar Ortac to be called Turk?
@@Kara_Pabuc Kürt nüfusu Türk nüfusundan 2-3 kat daha hızlı büyüyor. 20 yıl önce Türkiye'de 17 milyon Kürt olduğu söyleniyordu.
@@Kara_Pabuc less than 3% of Turks in Turkey are genetically „Turkic“ like Serdar Ortac. The rest is 🇬🇷🇦🇲🇮🇷🇬🇪🇸🇾🇮🇶🇸🇦😂
@Kara Pabuc take a dna test, you’re probably Kurdish too
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.
Thank you for all the information. Great job

@@papazataklaattiranimam Oh I didn’t see it. I will check it out!
As a native Persian speaker i can understand 85% of Pahlewani and 50% Sorani but only 25% Kurmanji
Kurds are Iranian and speak an Iranic language.
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
You simply can’t, Even Persian dialects themselves aren’t 85% mutually intelligible

4:17 Brutally simple but extremely informative design. Much better than the esoteric charts they try illustrate language families with.
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.
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.

Thanks for this stunning video, you are awesome! Dest xweş 👌
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.
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.

I love your channel Julie. The video production is excellent!!!. The research that you do is impressive!!. The only thing I suggest, you have to improve the audio equalization according to your voice. Thanks so much for the content, I hope you'll have soon a video about Hebrew Language.
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
Zor spas Xwişka delal.

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.

Almost all of european and others give an examples from past but they look up on now, kurdish isnt banned anymore
But still isn’t spoken freely so don’t make yourself feel good
It’s highly discouraged in any way.
Don’t want Turks to see you as a uneducated fool? The. don’t speak Kurdish.
Don’t want Turks to see you as a terrorist? Don’t encourage anyone to speak their language and don’t wear your traditional Kurdish clothing.
Don’t want to have a tough time in school and not be singled out in every way? Don’t tell anyone you are Kurdish.
It’s not banned, but everyone makes you feel like it is.

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.

And remember when you talked about the Goth, using another Indo-European languages, one can see the resemblance in the word GOT.

@@YousifsAssyrian hahaha angry assyrians 😂
keep dreaming lol
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
Thanks for that

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.

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.

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?

Turks don’t know the first thing about Kurds, you don’t even call Kurds Kurds.
