The Ottoman empire was defeated in World War I and Kur- distan was divided among Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and a small part joined the Soviet Russia, i.e. Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Concerning the Kurdish governments which were established in Iran being led by Karim Khan-e-Zand, Kurdish Red republic established in Kazakhstan during the time of Lenin, Ararat Republic in Turkey in 1927, Kurdistan Republic in Iran 1944-45 and Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq since 2005. Thus, what should be the Kurdish stance on political and social structure and distribution of power in the region? The hypothesis of this essay is: In spite of the historical, political, mil- itary backgrounds and ethnic, linguistic and religious similarities and the importance of the Kurds desire and population, they could still not have considerable share in power structure.

It studies two main varieties of Sorani spoken in Iraq which are Slemani and Hawler. Since the phonology of SK is one of the least studied areas in Kurdish linguistics and the available studies provide different accounts of its segments, I start by introducing the segmental system of the SK dialect group.

    Grammar of the Kurmanji or Kurdish Language E. B. Soane Author of ' To Kurdistan and Mesopotamia in Disguise , etc. LONDON LUZAC & CO. PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE 46 GREAT RUSSELL STREET INTRODUCTORY NOTICE IT is not so long ago that Kurdish was described by travellers as a harsh jargon, a very corrupt dialect of Persian, unintelligible to any but the folk who spoke it naturally; or again by others as an artificial language composed of Persian, Armenian, and Turltish ~zo~ds.It is neither of these. A little research proves it to be as worthy of the name of a separate and developed language as Turkish or Persian themselves. The early Medes and Persians spoke two different languages,Medic or Avestic and STEPHEN AUSTIN SONS, L1.1). Old Persian (that of the inscriptions), but the two tongues PI?INTEl?S,HERTFORD llave grown further apart than was originally the case; and while Persian has adopted almost as great a proportion of Arabic words as our own Anglo-Saxon did of Latin and Greek words to form modern English, Kurdish, eschewing importations, has kept parallel, but on different lines of grammar; and while frequently adopting a phrase or turn of expression from its sister language, has retained an independence of form and style that marks it as a tongue as different from the artificial Persian as the rough Kurd himself is from the polished Persian. The seclusion and exclusiveness which have been its preservation have also been the means of allowing a certain development into dialects in the almost inaccessible mountains which are the home of the Kurdish nation.

Abstrakt Irácký Kurdistán představuje entitu, která je schopná samostatně operovat v mezinárodních vztazích. Tato práce vyhodnocuje jeho geopolitické postavení na základě analýzy vztahů s regionálními a globálními aktéry působícími v regionu. Za regionální aktéry jsou považovány Irák, Turecko, Írán a Sýrie, neboť jsou obývány významnou kurdskou populací a mohou tak mít vliv na možnou formaci Iráckého Kurdistánu. Za globální aktéry jsou brány Spojené státy americké a Ruská federace. Analýza zkoumá prohlášení vrcholných představitelů všech těchto výše zmíněných subjektů a je prováděna v časovém období od roku 2013 do roku 2017. Jejím cílem je zjištění, jak se změnilo geopolitické postavení Iráckého Kurdistánu po významných událostech, jež se staly v tomto období.

This society arose from traditional and modern strata of urban Kurdish petty bourgeois in Mahabad. The present study aims at discussing the following questions applying a descriptive-analytical approach and using the historical resources and studies: 1. What is the role of the new social and historical structure of the Iranian Kurdistan in forming the Kurdish Resurrection Society? 2. How did the nationalism discourses of the modern absolutist Pahlavi state result in evolving the ideology of Kurdish Resurrection Society (KRS)? The evolution of KRS among the traditional and modern strata was the result of the changes and developments occurred in the structure of social forces in Iranian Kurdistan. These changes took place in the aftermath of modernization-related plans of the modern absolutist Pahlavi state in renewing the social structure and cultural assimilation of this era. This policy provoked a new form of collectivism based upon linguistic and ethnic minorities.
