Kurmanji and Zazaki Dialects: Comparative Study on their Phonetics

Abstract

Kurmanji and Zazaki are dialects of the theoretical language known as Kurdish. The various Kurdish dialects affirm the dialectical richness of the word and its sound, and show no indication of a decline in the spoken language. In general, the phoneme is thought to indicate the proximity or remoteness of language or its dialects – Kurdish is considered to date far back into antiquity. The present study is divided into three parts. It aims to reveal some phonetic characteristics of Kurmanji and the older dialect, Zazaki. The first part deals with the actual sounds of the phonemes; the second part is on the interchangability of sounds in the Zazaki of different regions; and the third part compares Kurmanji to Zazaki, making use of modern linguistic resources in systems of language.
