"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." |

Notes on Kurdish Culture, Literature and Art Conference in Diyarbakir
Prepared by Amir Sharifi and Luqman Barwari, 14/01/2011
As 2010 was coming to an end, one could make a forceful argument that the year was an intriguing and fruitful one when it came to the long neglected Kurdish language, art, and literature. Kurdish intellectuals, politicians, and activists in the homeland and Diaspora for the first time discussed their shared interests and aspirations to ensure that they re-discover, reassert and regain their role in studying, safeguarding, and representing their cultural legacy and ethnic and linguistic identity.

Kurdish Language
Kurdish (Kurdish: Kurdí, كوردی, Kurdî, Кöрди) language belongs to the Indo-European family of languages. Kurdish dialects are members of the northwestern subdivision of the Indo-Iranic language, Iranic branch of this largest family of language in the world. The Kurdish language is an independent language, having its own historical development, continuity, grammatical system and rich living vocabularies. The Kurdish language was derived from the ancient "Median" language or "Proto-Kurdish". Ca. 30 million people in the high land of Middle East, Kurdistan, speak different dialect of Kurdish.
Nation State building or language planning
By Dilan Roshani, 1st Intl. KAES Conference, UCLA, CA, USA, 5th Nov 2010
This year marks nearly 20 years of the Kurdish near-independent political rule over Iraqi Kurdistan. This region is home to an estimated 4-5 million Kurds who share a common identity and culture but who also speak a great variety of dialects.
In the northernmost area of the Kurdistan Region, people speak a Northern Kurdish variety which they variously call Behdíní, Surcí, Hekarí, Shengarí and Sinjarí. In the more southerly areas, one will find a Central Kurdish variety referred to by the names of the sub-regions or a tribe, such as Mukrí/Mukriyani, Erdelaní, Germíyaní, Soraní, Xushnaw, Píjhder, Píraní, Wermawe, and Hewlérí.
Konferansa Çand-Huner û Wêje ya Kurd, 11-12 of Dec 2010
Mon, 08/11/2010 - 12:28 — Admin
‘ Ji Bo Pêşxistina Çanda Netewî ya Demokratik, Yekîtiya Netewî’
Di 11-12’ê Berfanbara 2010’an li Amedê dê 1. Konferansa Çand-Huner û Wêjeyê were lidarxistin. Di dîroka gelê me de cara yekem dê hunermend, nivîskar, rewşenbîr û mirovên çandê di asta netewî de li ser çavkaniyên dirokî yên çandê bisekinin û li ser rojevbûn û perspektîfa pêşeroja wê dê nîqaşên berfireh bimeşînin. 1. Konferansa Çand-Huner û Wêjeyê ya Kurdan mîna ku ji bo netewe kurdan dê bibe gaveke dîrokî, di heman demê de ji bo gelên Rojhilata Navîn û bi giştî ji bo mirovahiyê jî dê bibe berpirsiyariyeke wîcdanî, exlaqî û polîtîk. Bêguman dê lidarxistana konferanseke bi vî awayî ji bo têkoşîna gelê me ya gihîştina nirxên mirovahî û azadiyê bibe tevkariyeke mezin.
