Roj Bash Kurdistan

I am a student with a decent grasp of the Turkish language (not fluent however) and am interested in studying Kurdish in Kurdistan. Are there any centers or universities that teach Kurdish in North Kurdistan? I know there are a few in South Kurdistan, however I would like to practice Turkish while learning Kurdish. Thank you for your help,

Dustin

well first welcome to this forum
second, as I have undrestood you are going to learn kurdish in the way

that northern kurds -in Turkish Occupied Kurdsistan- speak it , right?

two major dailect of kurdish is Kurmanji and Sorani .
Kurds in north speak kurmanji kurdish.


i foudn a tutorial for kurdish kurmaji grammar for english speakers
here http://www.geocities.com/kurdishclub/Ku ... ammars.pdf

I hope it be usefull for you

You can learn Kurmanji at Istanbul I heard, but I don't know if this is some false news spread by Turkey. And if it is true, it's probably expensive.

The University of Dohuk runs courses in Kirmanji....
And it is in Southern (iraqi Kurdistan)

Its a nice place... It has a supermarket...

The best thing is for you to learn it in SOUTH KURDISTAN - there you can practice your Kurdish with people without being jailed for being a treat to national security...

there is a kurdish language school in amed (diyarbakir) which teaches kurmancî.

Can you give more info about that?

Vladimir, i will have to contact a friend of mine who has visited the school and get back to you with the information, if that's okay with you.

No probs, you can always e-mail me.
