Introduction to Kurmanji

Geography of the Kurdish Region

The people who speak Kurmanji live in an area that includes several countries – Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria. These Kurdish people live mainly in the mountainous areas of the central and northern Zagros, the eastern one-third of the Taurus and Pontus, and the northern half of the Amanus mountain ranges. This area is approximately 230,000 square miles or about the size of Texas. The mountains have always been the home of the Kurdish people and the means of their survival throughout their history. The highest elevations in these areas are Mt. Alvand in Iran at 11,745 feet, Mt. Halgurd in Iraq at 12,249 feet, Mt. Munzur in Turkey at 12,600 feet, and Mt. Ararat also in Turkey at 16,946 feet.

There is also a large Kurdish enclave in central and north central Anatolia in Turkey and another in the province of Khurasan in northeast Iran.

Iraqi Kurds live in the northern part of Iraq. Here, the land is mountainous, but there are also hillsides with oak forests and fertile river valleys. The major rivers that flow through northern Iraq are the Greater Zab, the Lesser Zab, the Diyala, and the Tigris. These rivers are fed by the mountain snow that runs off every year into the rivers. Along the rivers are orchards, vineyards, and farmlands. However, even with all the water, there is still not enough fertile land for northern Iraq to be a major agricultural region.

The Kurdish area includes many of the Iraqi oil fields, particularly in the province of Mosul. This area has been a hotbed of international politics since before World War I. The largest city in northern Iraq is the oil town of Kirkuk. While Kirkuk has historically been inhabited by Kurdish and Turkmen, the Iraqi government has systematically reduced the Kurdish population and increased the Arab population. Because of the fertile area and the oil, Kurds are trying to reclaim the city as part of Kurdistan. As each group tries to control their interests in Kirkuk, fighting and bombings have become common occurrences.

Climate The climate in the areas where the Kurdish people live can be severe. In the northern mountainous areas, temperatures fall to -20° F in the winter, and in the lowlands, the temperatures can rise above 100° F in the summer. There are several geographical areas in the region where the Kurdish people live. These areas are listed below. Subtropical area: Located in the southern part of the Kurdish region, this area has winters that are temperate and summers that are hot with temperatures reaching 40° C or 104° F.

High plains: Here, winters are temperate and summers are dry and hot. During the winter, snow and heavy rains fall for three months and temperatures rarely reach above freezing. Mountainous area: Here, the winters are extremely severe and the summers are temperate. During the winter, the snow-pack reaches several feet and temperatures stay well below zero. In fact, snow remains visible on the peaks until August. The average annual precipitation is 60-80 inches per year in the central regions and 20-40 inches in the lower elevations. Most precipitation is in the form of snow, which is the resource for the major rivers. Population

It is estimated that there are approximately 30 million Kurdish people living around the world today, and this would rank 30th in population among 191 nations if they all lived in a single country. However, the Kurdish people are dispersed throughout several countries, mostly Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. Turkey, with a total population of 56.7 million people, has 13.7 million Kurds, or in other words, the Kurdish people make up 24 percent of their population. In Iran, the population is 55.6 million, with 6.6 million or 12.4 percent being Kurdish. Iraq has a population of 18.8 million, with 4.4 million or 23.5 percent being Kurdish, and Syria’s total population is 12.6 million with 1.3 million or 9.2 percent being Kurdish.

Kurds typically have very black hair, dark brown eyes, and olive complexions. However, there are many Kurds with light brown or blond hair and blue eyes. Compared to Americans, they tend to be shorter and slighter in build.

Traditional Kurdish clothing for men consists of loose fitting trousers with a cummerbund. This is worn with a shirt and a jacket. In addition, a skullcap is worn with a turban that has been folded from a large square piece of fabric. The colors of the clothing are often connected

to an individual’s tribe, alliance, or political affiliation. The traditional dress for women consists of loose fitting trousers (similar to old-fashioned pantaloons), a long loose overdress (sometimes two or three dresses are worn at the same time for warmth), a vest, and a scarf to cover the hair. Some women's dresses and men's shirts have long pointed sleeves that are tied in the back or wrapped around the arms while they work.

Kurds, especially the younger generation, are beginning to dress in Western fashion, although women do avoid the more extreme or revealing clothing.

History

The earliest mention of the Kurds is in the cuneiform writings from the Sumerians that date back to 3000 B.C. In these writings, they wrote of the “land of the Karda." In the seventh century A.D., the land was conquered by the Arabs, and Islam became the dominant religion.

During the thirteenth to the fifteenth century, the Ottoman Empire rose to power and eventually extended its borders to include the territory where the Kurdish people lived. The Ottomans and the Persians ruled the land until World War I,

Page 4: 77224644 Kurmanji Complete

and during this time, the Kurds enjoyed a considerable amount of autonomy although there were small rebellions by the Iraqi Kurds. During World War II, one of their leaders, Mustafa Barzani, emerged as a champion of Kurdish rights. He was involved in the establishment of the short-lived Kurdish autonomous republic, the Mahabad Republic, which lasted from 1946 to 1947.

In 1958, all the political parties, including the Kurdish Democratic Party, wholeheartedly supported a republican government. In the first constitution, the Kurds were named as part of the new republic and were guaranteed rights. By 1960, however, concessions to the Kurds were withdrawn, and for the next 15 years, the Iraqi government carried out an extended campaign of "Arabization" in the Kurdish areas. In 1974, Iraq was under the rule of Saddam Hussein. The Kurdish Democratic Party led a resistance against the Iraqi government with the support of Iran and the American CIA. However, the rebellion was crushed in April of 1975 when the Shah abruptly withdrew his support after he and Saddam Hussein reached an agreement that settled a border dispute between Iran and Iraq. The CIA also withdrew their aid in support of the Shah.

The boundary dispute began again in 1980 with the invasion of Iraq on Iran. During this war, Saddam Hussein used chemicals weapons against the Kurds. In 1987, the Iraqi Air Force used chemical agents against Kurdish resistance forces in northern Iraq. And, in February 1988, Saddam Hussein began the "Anfal" campaign against the Kurds. In this campaign, 100,000 civilians were killed and over 1,200 Kurdish villages destroyed. This war ended in 1988.

Since March of 1991, an elected Kurdish government, the Kurdish Regional Government or KRG, has represented the Kurdish people of Iraq. Its domain includes the provinces of Erbil and Duhok with the city of Erbil as its capital. The KRG includes the Kurdish Parliament, who members were elected in May 1992 and the Cabinet, which was formed in September 1996.

Religion

The ancient Kurds were pagans who worshipped the forces of nature and later various idols. They then accepted Zoroastrianism, which was the official religion of the Persian Empire. From the fourth century to the Islamic conquest, some Kurds were converted to Christianity by Syrian and Armenian missionaries. By the beginning of the fifth century, several monasteries had been built in the Kurdish area.

In the seventh century, most Kurds converted to Sunni Islam. Initially, many Kurds joined Khariji revolts to protest against the domination of Sunni Arabs, but eventually the vast majority converted to Sunni Islam of the Shafi'i school. However, some Kurds became Shi'a Muslims, and several communities joined Ghulat groups, which are extreme Shi'a sects such as the Ahl-i-Haqq, Yezidis and Qizilbash orders. The Shi'a Kurds lived in Turkey and Iran. The Ahl-i-Haqq Kurds lived in the southeastern Kurdish area between Kirkuk and Bakhtaran, and the Yezidis Kurds lived near Mosul in northwestern Iraq.

In Turkey, all Shi'a groups, Kurdish and Turkish, are called Alevis. The Sunni Ottomans in Turkey despised the Shi’a Muslims, and as a result, these Muslims were persecuted and massacred. Even today, the 8 million Shi’a Muslims living in modern day Turkey are despised.

From the twelfth century onward, Sufism has spread among the Kurds. The main Sufi orders among the Kurdish people were the Qadiriya and the Naqshbandiya. The Qadiriyah is the oldest and most orthodox of the Sufi orders. Naqshbandiya expanded in the Kurdish region during the nineteenth century.

Page 5: 77224644 Kurmanji Complete

Today, Yezidism can be found in the west and west-central areas, and it includes 2 percent of all Kurds. Thirteen percent of the Kurds are Yarsanism or Ahl-i Haqq. They are located in the southern area of the Kurdish region. And, 20 percent of the Kurds are Alevism or Kizil Nash. They live in the western area and in Khurasan. In addition, there are minor communities of Kurdish Jews, Christians, and Baha'is in various pockets of the Kurdish region. The ancient Jewish community has immigrated to Israel, and the Christian community has merged with the Assyrians.

Customs The Kurdish society is traditionally tribal and patriarchal. The Kurds were a nomadic people until the end of the nineteenth century. The tribal society was based on the communal ownership of land and on blood relationships. Even today, there are strong tribal loyalties.

Kurds value generosity and hospitality, and they always welcome friends and guests into their homes. They also consider modesty a virtue. Saving face is a part of their culture, and as a result, Kurds believe they should always behave in a dignified and respectful manner. Also a part of their culture is the revenge motive and lasting feuds. And, although they are a patriarchal society, Kurdish women are not veiled and are able to enjoy more freedom than most Arabic and Iranian

women.

The household consists of the nuclear family, which includes the father, mother, and children. Monogamy is the norm. Most people marry young, traditionally boys at 20 and girls at 18. Preferred marriages are with cousins. Kurdish men and women, like other Muslims, do not touch or show affection to one another in public, although they will express affection with members of the same sex. Famous Natives

One of the most famous Kurds in history is Saladin. He was a wise but firm ruler, who was skilled in diplomacy. He is revered as a hero of Islam and as a leader during the Crusades. In 1187, he led the conquest of Jerusalem and afterwards ruled with compassion.

One of the most prominent Kurdish national leaders was Mustafa Barzani. He was the president of the Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) and is renowned for leading armed struggles for Kurdish interests in regards to peace, freedom, and democracy. He died on March 1, 1979 at Georgetown Hospital in Washington, D.C. Today, he continues to be an inspiration for all Kurds.

Another famous native was Sheikh Mahmud. In 1918, he presented Sir Arnold Wilson with a document signed by 40 tribal chiefs demanding certain rights to the Kurdish people. During the 1920s, he led several uprisings against the British mandate in Iraq. Bloody reparations and deportations accompanied this revolt.

Qazi Muhammed was the president of the Kurdish Republic of Mahabad in 1945, which was in the Soviet occupied zone of Iran. His presidency lasted for

a year, which ended when the Iranian army reoccupied this area and he was hanged by orders of the Shah of Iran.

The Language

The Kurdish language is a member of the Indo-European family of languages, which is akin to Persian. The modern Kurdish language is divided into two major parts, the Kurmanji and the Dimili-Gurani. The Kurmanji dialect is the major dialect, and it is divided into two sub-dialects. One subdialect is North Kurmanji (Bahdini), which is spoken by three-quarters of the Kurds in the world. Most of these Kurds live in the northern part of Iraq, Syria, and the former Soviet Union. The other subdialect is South Kurmanji (Sorani), which is primarily spoken in

the southern part of the Kurdish region of Iraq and Iran. The other major dialect, the Dimili-Gurani, or Zaza, is spoken by Kurds in some parts of Iraq and Turkey.

The Arabic alphabet is used by Kurds in both Iraq and Iran for the formal standard Kurdish language, but many Kurdish people use the Latin alphabet in North Kurmanji (Bahdini). Generally, the Kurds in Turkey use a modified version of the Latin alphabet. The Alphabet/Writing System

There is no one standard alphabet or spelling system for Kurdish. It is written in an Arabic alphabet by Kurds who are educated in Iraq or Iran, a Roman alphabet by Kurds who are educated in Turkey, and a Cyrillic alphabet by Kurds who are educated in countries of the former Soviet Union. The use of different alphabets can make it difficult for Kurds from Turkey to read Kurdish written in Iraq and Iran. Most educated Kurds can read European languages and have picked up the ability to read Kurdish in the Roman alphabet. The Roman alphabet, in which Kurdish is written in Turkey and in exile communities in Europe and the United States, is based on the Turkish alphabet, although its vowel symbols are different.

The alphabet used in this course is the Arabic script in which Kurdish is written in Iraq and Iran. It is commonly used by all the people who have converted to Islam. The Kurdish version contains extra letters to represent Kurdish sounds that do not exist in Arabic. The Arabic-based Kurdish alphabet is written from right to left and does not make a distinction between capital and small letters. The long vowels are represented with symbols, and the short vowels are not represented at all.

Lesson 5 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007 كه چاڤ مال فتنا بنه پ

زان آۆمبينا خKombina Khezana Meeting the Family

This lesson covers the kinship terms used for immediate and extended family. You will also practice asking and answering simple questions about family members. The family is the most important unit in Kurdish society. The typical household consists of a husband, a wife, their children and grandparents, but family influence extends far beyond this unit. A woman marries into her husband’s family. A Kurdish man’s household and family are a very private matter not to be discussed in casual conversation or public. The women in a man’s family are part of his household, and his privacy and honor are violated if they are accosted or insulted by other men.

1. Look at the photos representing three generations of a Kurdish family. Can you figure out who is represented? Listen to the kinship terms and repeat them after the native speaker.

grandfather son mother grandmother daughter father باب آچ داپير دايك آوڕ باپير

2. Match the Kurmanji word with its English equivalent. Replay the audio above if you need help.

Kreen Shopping

This lesson will prepare you to make purchases in Kurdish shops. It will familiarize you with the local currency and economy, and accepted customs and practices in the marketplace. The local currency of the area is the Dinnar, pictured below.

The economic situation for the Kurdish people is not stable because of the current political situation in Iraq. Today the average income is less then one hundred dollars per person per year. More then half of the Kurds are unemployed. Most Kurdish people rely on agriculture for their livelihood. Going shopping! Shopping in Iraq is similar to shopping in the United States, though you may be able to haggle the price with the seller.

1. Listen to the following vocabulary list and repeat after the speaker.

How much does this cost? Ava B Chandya? ؟ ندێ يه بچه ڤه ئهHow much do they cost? Nrkhe Wan Chanda? ؟ نده نرخ وان چه How much is this/that? Au B Chadeya? ؟ ندێ يه چه و به ئه/ ئه ڤهI would like to buy (a)… Mn Dvet ____ Bkrm ت من م؟________ دڤ بكMagazine Govar گۆڤارNewspaper Rozhnama مهڕۆژنا

Khwardin L Darva Eating Out

This lesson introduces you to eating out in a Kurdish restaurant. The lesson includes reading a simple menu and learning various menu items, ordering menu items, and learning the different service items. In Kurdish restaurants you will find the traditional foods along with some fast foods like hamburgers. The main dish is rice but it is cooked in many ways. There is a variety of food you can choose from and most of the foreign people like the food. The food is also very inexpensive compared with the United States. With the exception of the five star restaurants, most of the restaurants in Kurdish areas do not have written menus. This is because the food served by individual restaurants is common knowledge to the local people of the area.

Kurdish family making traditional bread Kurdish Restaurant Kurdish food The main Kurdish dish is rice but it is generally cooked with meat and vegetables. Kurds are not heavy meat eaters, mostly they eat lamb and occasionally some beef. The Kurdish bread is flat and baked on the sides of a tandoor or circular oven. Kurds drink a lot of tea. Some popular Kurdish dishes are: Shesh Kababآباب, Doulma which is بریانیwhich is a grape leaf that is rapped around a mixture of rice and meet, Baryani مهدووrice cooked with meet and nuts, Quziقۆزی and Quzi Shamقۆزی شام Quzi is a dish of rice and lamb with various soups. Quzi Sham is Baryani covered with bread dough and baked in the oven. Kubhآوبه is made a rice or wheat dough filled with meat and cooked in a tomato sauce or soup. Most Kurdish people are Muslim so they don’t eat pork or anything that comes from the pig. You will not find ham or pork in any Kurdish restaurants.

Lesson 13 VALIDATION COPY 1.0 JUNE 2007 ڤه گواستنVagwastin

Transportation

This lesson will familiarize you with all types of transportation available in Kurdish area. Transportation in Kurdish areas is not difficult because cites are not very large. Most cities have buses for internal public transportation and as of fairly recently, there are no trains for more distant travel. It is very easy to rent a car and it is also fairly inexpensive. There currently are no statistics to show how many people own a private vehicle, but because of the local economic situation, a good estimate would probably be that less then half of people own a private car.

1. Listen and repeat the following words as you read along.
