背景

There are about 20 million speakers of Kurdish, scattered especially over four countries: Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. The general area in which they live is often referred to as Kurdistan. The Kurds are an ancient people who have always had a strong sense of ethnic identity. Their language belongs to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European family. The main varieties are «Kurmanji» (Northern Kurdish), chiefly spoken in Kurdistan, in the border area between Turkey, Syria, Iran and Iraq; and «Jurdi» often called «Sorani», chiefly spoken in Iran and Iraq. Kurdish is generally written in a variation of the Arabic script, though the Roman script is also common.
