After spending 5 years in Duhok, I finally decided to learn Kurdish. Now that I'm attending Kurdish classes, I had neither time nor mood to study and in order to help myself in studying and learning the language, I decided to make this blog in which I will share all my notes and will help you and myself learn Kurdish.
There are about 20 million speakers of Kurdish, scattered especially over four countries: Iraq, Syria, Iran and Turkey. The general area in which they live is often referred to as Kurdistan. The Kurdish language belongs to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. The main Varieties are Kurmanji (chiefly spoken in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria), Jurdi, also called Sorani, (chiefly spoken in Iran and Iraq) and Bahdini (Chiefly spoken in the north of Iraq). Kurdish is generally written in a variation of the Arabic script, though the Roman script is also common. In this blog, I will use the Arabic script because it is the official script in Duhok and I am learning this script in my class.
I searched the internet for badini kurdish lessons but I couldn't find more than five pages teaching only some expressions and words. So I guess this is going to be the first badini accent teaching blog/website. I hope it will be helpful to all of you and myself. Best wishes to all of us wanting to learn Kurdish.
