 A language disappears when its speakers disappear or when they shift to speaking another language – most often, a larger language used by a more powerful group.

Languages are threatened by external forces such as military, economic, religious, cultural or educational subjugation, or by internal forces such as a community’s negative attitude towards its own language.

Turkish government and more than one million Kurds were forcibly relocated between 1925 and 1938. The use of Kurdish language, dress, folklore, and names were banned and the Kurdish-inhabited areas remained under martial law

Today, increased migration and rapid urbanization often bring along the loss of traditional ways of life and a strong pressure to speak a dominant language that is – or is perceived to be – necessary for full civic participation and economic advancement.

An endangered language is a language that is at risk of falling out of use as its speakers die out or shift to speaking another language.

Language loss occurs when the language has no more native speakers and becomes a "dead language". If eventually no one speaks the language at all, it becomes an "extinct language".
 A dead language may still be observed and studied through recordings or written text, but it is still dead or extinct unless there are fluent speakers.

Although languages have always become extinct throughout human history, they are currently disappearing at an accelerated rate by the processes of globalization and neocolonialism, and the economically powerful languages dominate other languages.

Gorani Influence on Central Kurdish  By Dr. Michiel Leezenberg

The vernaculars spoken by the Kurds fall in two groups, each again being divided into two main dialect groups. The great majority of the Kurds speak a variety of the so-called Kurmanci or Sorani dialects; smaller numbers speak Gorani or Zaza. Although the latter two dialects are close relatives of the former two, they do not strictly speaking belong to the same branch of Indo-Iranian languages. Nonetheless, both groups are commonly thought to belong to the Nortwestern group of Iranian languages.

Kurdistan is full of rich and diverse languages. Learn about the history and variations of Kurdish language, and how to learn Kurdish and speak Kurdish.
