    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.

    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.

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

    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

    Actually the original Kurdish is Zazaki, and we still call it as “Kirdkî” in our language.
    And even the geographical distance, Kirdkî (zazaki) still share the same vocabulary with Sorani and Gorani.
    I also think that Kurmanci has been changed a bit because of the Persian affect on it..

    Very interesting! I'm a native Persian speaker and the way that the sentence is composed in "Sorani" Kurdish language, which goes "I see the men" (min piawaken debinm) , is understandable for all Persian speakers. It might not "immediately" make sense, but with a bit of deconstruction, it's certainly intelligible.
    When I hear Kurdish spoken by Iranian Kurds, I don't understand the language entirely, but I certainly can pick up enough words to understand the topic and key points, in most cases.

My parents on the other hand have no problems understanding them, it’s like English really, if a southern American was born in say Asia, they would only truly learn/fully understand their parents native southern American English accent, but would struggle with some British accents, while their parents would have no issue understanding any English dialect!

    @ezmanb2576 7 ปีที่แล้ว +134

    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...
    Thanks for the video. Sincerely...

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).

    Hello from Ukraine to all Kurds! My teacher of English at school was Kurd. I learned so much from him! I pray for all of you to preserve your beautiful language and to stay united! The story about Kurdish dialects sounds so similar to Ukrainian language. It was strongly divided into several dialects, because our teritory was divided between several countries. Now when Ukraine is independant (since 1991) different dialects inside the country exist as parts of one language. But outside, in the lands where Ukrainians live near the borders of Ukraine, Ukrainian dialects tend to be named `Ruthenian language` in the West and Russian dialect `Balachka` in the East, which is not true. I hope you will have your own country one day! (Please do not ban me for that wish! It`s not `politics`. For every nation to have its own country is the only way to preserve its language)

      Capitan Barbosa I din`t know. Lots or Ukrainians prefer to immigrate to other countries instead of participating in geopolitical changes)). As for Crimea tatars and Ukrainians. Lot`s of Ukrainians assimilated with Crimea Tatars. And vise versa. The difference is religion and education. Like I have some Crimea Tatar blood because my grand great dad married to a Tatar girl. Lot`s of Crimea Tatars were merried to Ukrainian girls. Personally I don`t mind to give `Tatar and Nogay lands back to them` but its up to Russian Federation. RF doesn`t give any independance to anybody. It kills the ethnic groups, nations and languages.

    I speak both bahdini - a sub dialect of kurmanji - and sorani, as my mother is a bahdini speaker and and my father is a sorani speaker. I am definitely better with my sorani. I find it quite difficult to communicate with other dialects, though I consider all dialects to be kurdish, rather than distinct languages. There are certainly some dialects where I struggle to understand anything at all. Having watched your video, I am now reconsidering whether they really are separate languages!
    Certainly, my cousins from my fathers side do not understand kurmanji in the slightest, however my mother has been able to adapt and learn and speak sorani quite fluently. This was an excellent video, and as a Kurd, I've learnt more about my own language in a single video than I have my own life!
