Kurdish Language(s)


Kurdish is a group of Indo-Iranian languages spoken by the Kurds, an ethnic group native to the mountainous region of Kurdistan, which spans the borders of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. Kurdish is spoken by over 45 million people, making it the 26th most spoken language in the world.

There are four main dialects of Kurdish: Kurmancî, Soranî, Zaza (Dimilkî), and Goranî. Kurmancî is the most widely spoken dialect, with over 30 million speakers. It is the official language of the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq and the Syrian Kurdish Autonomous Administration. Soranî is the second most widely spoken dialect, with over 10 million speakers. It is the official language of Iraqi Kurdistan. Zazakî and Gorani are smaller dialects, with around 2 million and 1 million speakers, respectively.

Kurdish is a dialect continuum, meaning that there is a gradual transition from one dialect to another, with some dialects being mutually intelligible and others not.

Kurdish is written in a variety of scripts, including the Latin alphabet (used in Turkey and Syria), the Perso-Arabic script (used in Iraq and Iran), and the Cyrillic alphabet (used in Armenia and the former Soviet Union).

Kurdish is a rich and diverse language with a long and vibrant history. It is an important part of Kurdish culture and identity.

Here are some additional facts about Kurdish language(s):

  • Kurdish has been spoken in Kurdistan for over 2,000 years.
  • Kurdish is one of the oldest living languages in the Middle East.
  • Kurdish has a rich literary tradition, dating back to the 10th century CE.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Is TranslateKurdish a translation agency?

I am not an agency; I am a freelancer. However, I do not work alone. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many valid professionals, to whom I can outsource tasks that do not fall into my specializations and that enable me to offer my clients 360° language services.

Which file formats can you manage?

Using the software I have available, I can manage a range of formats, even complex ones, without having to modify the original structure of the files. In this way, you will receive your translated files in the same layout as the original. I can process the following formats: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, HTML, XML, InDesign (.idml) and many others. I can also provide support with translating and reformatting PDF files.

Do you also translate into other languages?

To guarantee maximum quality, I translate exclusively into my native languages — Kurdish and Turkish. However, my team of collaborators includes English mother-tongue translators (UK and US English) as well as translators with other language combinations. I can also manage multilingual translation projects.

Can you help me with an urgent translation?

Is your product launch or a competition deadline right around the corner and you still haven’t had any of the documentation translated? No problem! Tell me the latest deadline to receive the translation. I will confirm whether it is feasible, and if the material is too much for me to handle on my own, I will put together a team of professionals who can help me meet your needs. 

What is your turnaround time for a translation?

Turnaround times for a translation depend on the nature, length and complexity of the text. There is no universal formula. However, once I have properly analyzed the documents I can more accurately provide a delivery timeframe so that you can then plan the next stages of your project.

Do you also provide interpreting services?

An interpreter orally transposes the words expressed in one language into another. This can be done simultaneously (as the person is speaking) or consecutively (after the person has spoken) and requires a skill set different to that of a translator (who deals with written texts). Do you need an interpreter for an event or conference? I can provide you the names of esteemed colleagues who offer interpreting services.
