I see. Senendejí "-ig" mostly matches with Southern Kurdish (Kirmanshaní, Ílamí, Lekí) "-í" :

cermig : cermí : white

herrig : herrí, xerrí : mud, mire

mirdig : mirdí : dead

The tribes ( huz) in the Sheikh bizeyni Confederation:

Xewend
Kerkukî
Palanî
Tapan
Dashtî
Ler
Coexar
Hewedanî

In the Ottaman Archive they are called as " Akrad î Lek" but their language is not Lekî.
There are several theories where from and how this trunk comes.Probably they came in several periods from Iraq or were resettled.And I think personally because of her language that they from originally from kermanshah or îlam.

The name " bizeynî"

The proper noun of this tribe is "kirmanj" and they call her language "kirmanjekî".
In order where them with the Kurmanji t speakers live together they are called
Sexbizini .
About the meaning of the name there are some theories:

1. "bizen " from zeden in persian زدن to beat- sheykh bizenî

2. I found in the book from على سا يه ( Ferhengî Kurdî -Erebî zarî Kelhurî) on Page 88 the word
bizen بزه ن with the meaning شجاع - brave.I believe this word "bizen بزه ن " can close with the ´ name of the tribe Sheykh bizeni.

3. The older people of the tribe said me that earlier themselves called Shazenî

Lekí "cermí" seems close to Erdellaní (Senendejí) "cermig"

no . it is not like Erdelanî . and it is better to call "Senendej" "Sine" as we call it .
Iranian people (persian) use "sanandaj" but we say "Sine"
Sineî xoênawî

[kurdimemin_diako]

I see. Senendejí "-ig" mostly matches with Southern Kurdish (Kirmanshaní, Ílamí, Lekí) "-í" :

cermig : cermí : white

herrig : herrí, xerrí : mud, mire

mirdig : mirdí : dead

yes . but "g" and "boge" is not use as before now . only old people who are from sine use it . if u want to say:"halo xoeshe ?" in Sine it will be "Halo xoesh boge ?" or "fre xoesh bogî?"
but now people just say"xoeshî?" like other sorani kurds
"Boge" is going to dye out !

hi everyone i am from Turkey and we called ourselves as "Sheikh Bizini" as Emanuelkurdistan said.It is said that the Leki language and the Kurdish we speak (actually I dont know it very well,but my parents does ) are similar.But when i listen musics from youtube in Leki language i understand only one sentence (in fact i understand nearly all of the songs in Sheikh Bizini ) i am very curious about whether these languages are descended from same origin.for example i want to give u two examples of songs: one is from Sheikh Bizini song and another is from Leki language

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UXTQVxK45Q ==> name of song is Haymana where we are from
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2SXlUnzo_4 ==> in Leki i like it very much i understand only "ime gişt lekin,mın ji lek ikım" which means "we are all lekis and i am too leki"

please help me to compare these songs about language concept

Slav keke, I'm also central anatolian, i speak kurmanji. i could not understand the eastern/standart kurmanci before but with listening it more and more from TV, music and reading, i understand now almost 100% and i can also write it. this may be the case with you shexbizinî neighbours , maybe you could understand sorani and other southern dialects more if you listen and read. you can convert sorani arabic script to latin: http://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/kurdi ... ersion.htm

But i dont know, i dont know much about sheikhbizinî and i dont understand it
