WIKITONGUES: Mohamad speaking Kurmanji Kurdish

Hello. Good day.

My name is Şilovan and now I am speaking
Kurmanji Kurdish.

Kurmanji Kurdish is one of the five
dialects of the Kurdish language.

The Kurds in Northern and Western
Kurdistan speaks this dialect,

while the Kurds in Southern and Eastern
Kurdistan speaks Sorani.

Or most of them, to say. But there are
Kurds there speaking Kurmanji too.

I learned this language, the Kurmanji
language, by myself.

Because in Syria, I came from Syria, from
Western Kurdistan (Rojava),

the Kurdish language was forbidden, which
means you can not learn your own language.

Now I am living in Germany, in the city
of Köln.

And... I came to Germany as a refugee,
in 2015.

Well, what else can I say about Kurmanji?

Kurmanji is a very beautiful language.
I like this language really much,

and I wish the days to come that
this ban will be removed.

I mean, every Kurd, or even non-Kurds,
can learn, write and speak this language

in every place.

That is my wish.

And, what else, I thank everybody,

I thank all the watchers of this video,

and I wish you to stay healthy and joyful.

Goodbye.
