Is there a way I can easily learn to pronounce some of these words which are in Kurmanji. For other languages I can just find a dictionary and there’s typically an audio button but it’s quite difficult to find one for Kurmanji.

So Georgia is blacklisted (country) but some people told me there may be news in may. Is it correct?

I have some questions please reply if you are. I will send you a Dm. Thanks.

My dad is a zaza kurd from diyarbakir and i want to get a traditional deq tattoo but i wondered if these are only by yezidi kurds Anyone knows more about the origins? I sont wanto disrespect or appropriate anything

Hello,

I am an 18 year old Kurd from Sweden/Germany and I solo travel a lot. I grew up with my kurdish family who all are from either from the Diyarbakir area or the Agri area of Bakur.

I moved away from my family early and therefore feel like I have lost a lot of connection to my culture, especially our history.

Therefore I want to travel to Bakur (either alone or with my brother) to visit some family history and just see Bakur in general.

Now the problem is that I speak no Turkish (which I know I mostly spoken unfortunately) and my Kurdish is just below fluent. Will it be a problem to communicate with people even if it is just asking about places to eat or general question as most people (from what I have heard) speak Turkish in public? Will it be a problem getting around (renting a car and etc) as I speak no Turkish. Can I get by by speaking English Incase I am stumped? Is it dangerous to speak Kurdish as I have heard certain people frown upon it, even Police? Is the best option to bring someone who is more familiar with Turkish and the area?

Also I would like to know any recommendations of places to visit that both include history or scenery? I am planning to go directly to Diyarbakir and then branch out to the van region for a very short trip.

Please help me learn more about our people and culture in regards to a trip like this!

Neat documentary about the Dengbêj!

What’s population in KRG in 2024? And What’s the population in those cities in our region?

I grew up in the west and don’t know much about my culture. Recently i’ve started to become interested in it. Is there a good video I can watch on our history? Also are there online resources to learn the language?

Hey :) could somebody translate the lyrics of "li qamişlo li ber derî"~ Mehmûd Berazî to english for me? I've tried google translate but am not sure it's done a decent job. A man on the train told me it's his favorite song and now I would like to understand what it's about :) <3

Thanks!

Sounds like a joke but is serious. How can k say butthole in Kurdish, specifically Iraq dialect, in English characters. Thank you

With the latest update to the emojis, Martinique, an overseas territory of France in Africa, was given a flag emoji 🇲🇶. This is a flag used by the independence movement and not the official flag of the island. The Autonomous Region Kurdistan in Iraq with an officially recognised flag, however, again wasn’t respected by that committee that decides which new emojis to add and I seriously have no explanation for that disrespect other than mal intent.

I recently tried talking to my Grand mother, who‘s from Dersim(Mercimek), in Kurdish since im in the disparosa however, her accent is really really heavy and sounds like a weird combo of Zazaki and Kuramncî while not sounding like either of them. I have a hard time asking her since there is a language barrier and my mothers Kurdish also got pretty bad with time. Any help is appreciated.
