Kurdish Language and Culture

The relationship between Iraq and the Kurds has been historically strained due to disputes over territory, resources, and political autonomy. The Kurds have sought greater independence and self-governance within Iraq, leading to conflicts and tensions with the central government. However, there have been efforts to improve relations in recent years through political negotiations and power-sharing agreements.

You can buy a Kurdish jambiya in Kurdistan or at specialty shops that sell cultural or traditional items. You may also find them for sale online through various websites that specialize in the sale of cultural artifacts and weapons.

It is a very small percentage; I would be surprised if it were greater than 1% of all Kurds in northern Iraq. Many more Christians in Iraqi Kurdistan are non-Kurds who have fled to Kurdistan to seek Kurdish protection, like Assyrians, Armenians, and Chaldeans.

The term for "old women" in Kurdish is "jîneyan pîroz" (جینەیان پیرۆز).

No. The area commonly called "Mesopotamia" is today mostly in Iraq. Kurdistan is in in northern Iraq with portions also in Iran, Syria, and Turkey.

While there are parts of Mesopotamia that overlap with areas of Kurdistan, the majority of Mesopotamia is outside of Kurdistan and the majority of Kurdistan is outside of Mesopotamia.

The genocide of the Kurdish people, notably in Iraq under Saddam Hussein's regime, was officially recognized by the international community. The end of the genocide was marked by the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Since then, efforts have been made to acknowledge the atrocities committed and to promote reconciliation and justice for the Kurdish people.

Yes, Kurds live in northern Iraq, primarily in the Kurdish autonomous region. While some Kurds are involved in farming activities, many also work in other sectors such as trade, services, and government. The Kurdish region is known for its agricultural production of crops like wheat, barley, and fruits.

In my opinion this is a wrong question. Because at this time of the world English is very important for every single person in the world. It doesn't matter if you are a Kurd, Japanese, Spanish or German. English is going to be the second language you need to know after your mother tongue if you want to go deeper on you field of interest.

Well, to begin the Kurds are really brave and the are the the largest ethnic group without a country. They fought so many times for their autonomy but they failed and now they are over 25 million people the 4 million of them are in north of Iraq and by their braveness and so many effort they established a Kurdistan Federal region and its lead by Mr. Masud Al-Barzani. The other Kurds are in Turkey, Iran, and Syria and they don't have autonomy yet.

They do not have a state because their lands have been stolen by greedy Arabs, Turks and Persians. These countries have little interest in the realization of a Kurdish Dream and no Western Country has openly backed a Kurdish Resistance to the point of success.

Though in Iraq, the northern part has autonomy, the area in between the rest of Iraq and north Iraq, despite having a Kurdish majority after a failed Arabization campaign, is not part of autonomy. Syrian president Assad, in a show of thanks for Kurdish help has allowed Kurds to take over the northern part. Kurds and Persians are ethnically and linguistically related, in Turkey, the 10-30 million Kurds there are yet to be liberated from oppressive Turkish rule.

Estimates suggest that there are around 150,000 to 200,000 Kurds living in the United States. The largest Kurdish community in the US is located in Nashville, Tennessee, followed by cities like Los Angeles, Detroit, and Chicago.

It was scrapped when Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was able to fight back against the implementation of the Treaty of Sèvres and write the new Treaty of Lausanne which prevented the realization of an independent Kurdistan.

The exact origins of the Kurds are uncertain, but they are believed to be indigenous to the mountainous regions of what is now eastern Turkey, northern Syria, northern Iraq, and western Iran. They have a distinct culture, language, and history that sets them apart from the neighboring populations.

Estimates vary, but it is believed that thousands of Kurds were killed and buried in mass graves during the Saddam Hussein regime in Iraq, particularly during the Anfal campaign in the late 1980s. The exact number of victims is difficult to determine due to the secrecy and scale of these atrocities.

Hello in Kurdish is "سڵاو" (sllaw) and goodbye is "بابەی" (babay).

The average height of a Kurdish man is around 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches. However, heights can vary among individuals due to genetic and environmental factors.

In Kurdish, "please" is said as "تکایە" (tekeye).

yes surely he is kurdish from Kurdistan-Turkey

There are no general restrictions on Kurdish people marrying Indian people, as marriage between individuals is a personal decision. Cultural and religious differences may need to be considered. It is important for both individuals to communicate openly, understand each other's customs, and respect each other's beliefs and traditions.

No, Erdogan's of Turkish nationality, certainly not a Kurd.

yes he is . he is in one of the kurdish family (kurdistan-turkea)

and his family are proud of him. cuz he plays as a kurd in euro club

The Kurdish people have a homeland that spans parts of Turkey, Iraq, and Iran. They are an ethnic minority group and have historically faced challenges in seeking autonomy and recognition within these countries.

In Kurdish culture, marriage between close relatives, such as siblings or first cousins, is generally not common as it is considered taboo. Most Kurdish men marry individuals outside their immediate family, often within their own community or ethnicity. Marriage practices can vary among different Kurdish groups and individuals.

Yes, I am familiar with the Kurdish language. It is an Indo-European language spoken by the Kurdish people primarily in regions stretching across the Middle East.

Most likely because they are Muslim. I have kurdish friends and they say if they marry a English girl there Parents will kill them etc. Because they think English girls wont stay with you for long and only want sex, but kurdish girls are there for life once they marry them they can't divorce each other or she cant cheat. They think English or any other girls that's not from there country will do that.

Which is pretty pathetic really how they think.

Anyways hope this has answerd your question ! :)

As a Kurdish from east of Kurdistan religion doesn't matter for us. if a Kurdish man prefers to marry a Kurdish girl that's because he thinks Kurds are more loyal but nowadays it is proven that somtimes girls from other ethnics live in Iran are more loyal than Kurds; for example Azary Turks,Arabs, baluchs and turmans are more loyal.

Of course he is. but he is a bad kurd a servant of his opressers. Never said he is kurdish and never made a song in kurdish. but he is kurdish. He cried when he came to Kurdistan. That says a lot. Anyway he has a great voice the best in Iran, just like Ibrahim tatlises has the best in Turkey and Sheikh Abdul Basit Abuldsamd is the best ever qari also a KURD. Biji Kurdistan
