I filmed this video back in December, and yes it took me that long to edit it. I first thought of it as an act of support to the protests in Iran that were triggered by the killing of Mahsa Amini (who was Kurdish by the way) back in 2022. As I already had a video about Persian, I decided to make this video on Kurdish and to donate the income from it. I haven't decided yet what is the most appropriate organisation, is it helping Kurdish refugees, or helping refugees from Iran, or helping all refugees, but I'll put it here when I make my decision. In the meanwhile, enjoy learning about Kurdish!

Kurdish language is spoken in the region of Kurdistan by the Kurdish people - a largest nation that doesn't have a country. It is spoken across several countries throughout the Middle East and it has a very different status in each of those countries. Kurdish language may be spoken in the Middle East, but it is not related to Arabic or Turkish. Instead, together with Persian, it is included in the Indo-European language family, that contains also many Indian and European languages, including English. That's right, Kurdish is closer to English than to Arabic! And there are many more unique and interesting features of Kurdish that we explore in this video!
