Kurdish (Kurmanji)

Kurdish is spoken by the Kurdish people in parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria and Armenia. Kurdish is most closely related to Persian/Farsi. There are two forms of written Kurdish: Sorani (Central Kurdish) which is written using Arabic characters and Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish) which is written in the Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic alphabets.

Prior to translation and interpretation

Before ordering a translation or interpreter, it is a good idea to know which country the translated material will be used in and which country the person to be interpreted comes from. This is particularly important for translations into languages which are spoken in many different countries, since the same language may be written differently and in some cases with different alphabets.
