Northern Kurdish I (Kurmanci)
Khanna Usoyan
Kommentar
Kurmanji, the most widely spoken Kurdish dialect, belongs to the northwestern Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. It is the primary language of Kurds in Turkey, Syria, northern Iraq, Iran’s Khorasan region, the Caucasus, and diaspora communities worldwide. Despite its broad use, Kurmanji faces challenges in standardization due to historical political constraints and limited institutional support. This course provides a foundational study of modern Kurmanji. Students will master the Latin-based alphabet (developed by Celadet Bedirxan in Hawar), essential grammar, and practical communication skills. Designed for Master’s students with no prior experience, the seminar combines structured lessons with interactive practice to build reading, writing, and conversational proficiency – equipping learners for further linguistic or regional studies.
