    Default Kurdish Language Resource

    Institut Kurde de Paris - Kurmanci

    The link is to a newsletter archive (1987-2006), with each issue of "Kurmanci" giving you several pages of topic-specific terminology in Kurdish, Turkish, French and English. Not quite full-blown tech dictionaries, but handly little references in convenient pdf.

    I'm new, so may have missed previous posts on this topic, but the Washington Kurdish Institute (www.kurd.org) is a good resource for all things Kurdish here in D.C. I know they were very enthusiastic in their support of Michael Chyet's Kurdish Dictionary Kurmanji-English, published by Yale University Press in 2002. From Chyet's bio: "This dictionary focuses on modern usage of the Kurmanji dialect of Kurdish, which is spoken in Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq and parts of the former Soviet Union."

    Cheers,

    Just because you haven't been hit yet does NOT mean you're doing it right.

    "In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." President Dwight D. Eisenhower
