"As I have noted before, the Kurdish nation will converge via a unified Kurdish language. The prerequisite of a unified Kurdish language is a unified Kurdish alphabet. This means that the Kurdish scholars and the literati need to develop a writing system that allows all speakers hailing from every Kurdish dialect to use that writing system." |

How can I get involve with projects such as KAL and KURDISTANICA so that I might be able to contribute to this good cause?
Sat, 28/06/2008 - 17:47 — Admin
One thing that Individuals/organisations can do to support projects like KAL and KURDISTANICA is to ask their friends, colleagues or fellow organizational members to get involve in turning hard copy material into electronic (scanning, typing etc.). If you are conversant in other relevant languages, you can help translate texts from English into Persian, Turkish, Arabic (and vice versa), as well as proof-reading English translations. These types of contribution make the information available to all others whose linguistic knowledge is limited.

Speaking to the World: the Poetry of Jalal Barzanji
Sabah A. Salih, 28 June 2010
Even when he was little, his parents could tell that their shy and somewhat reclusive boy was different from the rest of the village boys. They were mostly the rough type, climbing trees and rocks and chasing the animals and often bringing their parents a great deal of trouble. He, by contrast, kept mostly to himself. For prolonged periods of time he would gaze intensely at the sky, the rain, and the surrounding mountains. And the stories the men told by the fire or on the rooftop under a crisp, starry summer night made the youngster dream of things he had never seen.

Kurdistan: Toward a Cultural-Historical Definition - Kurdish Language
By Kamal Mirawdeli, March 1993
A strong expression of the antiquity, cultural continuity, and distinctiveness of Kurds is the Kurdish language itself. There have been several theories and assumptions regarding the Kurdish language: its independence, origins, and mode of existence. It was not only ignorance, as Edmunds has rightly asserted (Edmunds, 1957:7), which made some Western colonial travellers in Kurdistan in the 19th century describe the Kurdish language as a corrupt form of Persian or a motley of Persian, Arabic, and Turkic language.
