Tips for English to Kurdish translation
Kurdish is an Indo-Iranian language with two main varieties: Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish, about 20 million speakers) and Sorani (Central Kurdish, about 8 million speakers). They differ enough to be considered separate languages by some linguists. This translator handles Kurmanji.
Kurmanji Kurdish uses the Latin alphabet with additional characters: ç (ch), ê (long e), î (long i), û (long u), and x (guttural kh). Sorani uses a modified Arabic script.
Kurdish grammar has grammatical gender (masculine/feminine), an oblique case system, and an ezafe construction (linking particle between noun and modifier) similar to Persian.
Kurdish has borrowed from Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and more recently English and French. The degree of borrowing varies by region and dialect.
About the Kurdish language
Kurdish is spoken by an estimated 30 million people across Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and a large diaspora in Europe (especially Germany, Sweden, and France). It belongs to the Iranian branch of Indo-European languages, making it related to Persian.
The Kurdish people are the largest ethnic group in the world without their own nation-state. Kurdish culture has a strong oral poetry tradition, and the Newroz (spring equinox) celebration is the most important cultural holiday. The Kurdistan Region of Iraq has semi-autonomous government where Kurdish is an official language.
