Kurdish is a dialect continuum spoken by the Kurds in western Asia. It is part of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian group
of Indo-European languages. The Kurdish language is spoken by some 30 million people. The CIA factbook estimates the number
to be between 25–30 million. Kurdish is not a unified standard language but a discursive construct of languages spoken by
ethnic Kurds, referring to a group of speech varieties that are not necessarily mutually intelligible unless there has been
considerable prior contact between their speakers. The second official language of Iraq, referred to only as 'Kurdish' in
political documents, is in fact an academic and standardized version of the Sorani dialect of a branch of languages spoken
by Kurds. The written literary output in Kurdic languages was confined mostly to poetry until the early 20th century, when
a general written literature began to be developed. In its written form today Kurdish has two regional standards, namely Kurmanji
in the northern parts of the geographical region of Kurdistan, and Sorani further east and south. Another distinct language
group called Zaza–Gorani is also spoken by several million ethnic Kurds today and is generally also described and referred
to as Kurdish, or as Kurdic languages, because of the ethnic association of the communities speaking the languages and dialects.
Hewrami, a variation of Gorani, was an important literary language used by the Kurds but was steadily replaced by Sorani in
the twentieth century. |
