Description
Kurdish is a rich group of languages spoken for more than a thousand years in the region of Kurdistan, which includes parts of Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Today, Kurdish is also spoken in a diaspora that stretches through Europe and the United States.
Learning Kurdish can be hard in terms of grammar and learning resources, especially if you don’t speak any middle-eastern language. The Kurmanji dialect can be easier for speakers of European languages because it uses the Latin alphabet, while the Sorani dialect uses the Arabic script.
That said, the difficulty of learning Kurdish will largely depend on your language learning, the same as with any other language. If you’re new to learning languages, learning about study techniques and memorization tools is important
Your experience of learning Kurdish will depend on which other languages you speak.
Speakers of Persian or Pashto will find it relatively easy to learn Kurdish. These languages come from the same language family (Iranian), so their grammar and phonology share many common points.
Speakers of Arabic languages also have an advantage since the Arabic script is one of the writing systems used in Kurdish.
On the other hand, speakers of languages that aren’t from the middle east might face a challenge. European languages come from a distant family branch. Still, the difficulty will depend on which dialect you choose to learn.
