'Language, The National Identity' conference submits a list to ministry

An academic Kurdish language conference, called 'Language, The National Identity,' was held at the Mahmood Zamdar Hall at Erbil Central Library last week.

The conference, which was held under the auspices of the Kurdistan Region President Massoud Barzani, was attended by around 250 language experts and academics from all four areas of Kurdistan. The attendees shared their ideas about issues related to language. The major topics of the conference were the diversity of the Kurdish language dialects and making efforts to bring the various dialects closer to each other, agreeing on a single alphabet and finding a standard and comprehensive language for Kurdish.

Dr. Hogir Mahmoud Faraj, language professor at Suleimaniya University's Kurdish Language Department, appreciated the effort by the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Culture and Youth. "This is an important effort to unify the various Kurdish dialects of the Greater Kurdistan and introduce language experts to all those dialects, so as to have an inclusive language to understand each other," explained Dr. Faraj in an interview with The Kurdish Globe. "Lack of a language policy has caused serious harm to the Kurdish language, and as we don't have an independent Kurdish entity, such conferences can help coming up with a good Kurdistani dialog for all the dialects of the Kurdish language."

Northern Kurdistan language expert Hussein Kartal, on the other hand, told the Globe that Kurdistan Region has the decision-making power and the Kurdish language can best find its true place in society from strong decisions.

"All other parts of Kurdistan are waiting for the Kurdistan Region to establish the Kurdish language, through a decisive, academic and reasonable verdict, as the standard language in the national education system at schools and universities," said Kartal. "Kurdistan's different dialects are in need of a symbol, which I believe it is the Latin alphabet.

When you walk the streets of Kurdistan Region, you might lose your way because the road signs are written in an alphabet that is not readable except by Sorani Kurds."

Kartal says most of the books written in the Sorani dialect should be translated into the southern Kurmanci dialect by a dedicated committee. He says this will help those from various dialects understand each others' feelings and knowledge.

Dr. Rahim Surkhi, eastern Kurdistan linguist and language professor at the Salahaddin University, on the other hand, believes the congregation of the Kurdish dialects in such conferences paves the way for the formulation of a unified Kurdish language.

"There have existed Kurdish language elimination policies in all parts of Kurdistan, and they still exist in various shapes," said Surkhi in a Globe interview. "But culture, love and the political struggle of the Kurdish nation has blocked this way from the invaders."

According to Surkhi, the KRG should convert the recommendations of the conference into a set of regulations and procedures and send it to all relevant ministries of the KRG.

Regarding the conference's 14 recommendations, Nawzad Abdul Aziz Salih, adviser of the KRG Ministry of Culture and Youth, said all the recommendations formulated by the attendees and submitted to his ministry would be considered for implementation with coordination and collaboration of other relevant ministries and government institutions.

Salih noted the implementation could not be done instantly, as there are related social changes. He said: "We will continue to pave the way for the implementation of all the recommendations of the conference."


Profile

The Kurdish language conference submitted 14 recommendations after four days of presentations and discussions, attended by linguists and academics from all four parts of Kurdistan. The recommendations were:

1. The conference requests relevant parties draft the Language Law and submit it to the Kurdistan Parliament.

2. Establishment of the Higher Kurdish Language Committee in Kurdistan Region, consisting of 20 members from all Kurdish dialects, in direct cooperation with Kurdistan's universities, Kurdish Academy and Kurdish Language Institute.

3. We recommend the KRG facilitate and support the creation of a Kurdish-Kurdish Dictionary, inclusive of all words and phrases of all Kurdish dialects in both Arabic and Latin alphabets.

4. Both Kurdish alphabets should be used in scientific, educational, cultural and media arenas until a unified Kurdish alphabet is applied.

5. Academic, scientific and cultural institutions should facilitate conducting scientific research about the Kurdish dialects.

6. Kurdish language should be used as the first language in all commercial, advertising and tourist matters and efforts should be made to use both alphabets for all road signs.

7. According to the Constitution, the Kurdish language and the Arabic language, are the official languages in the federal Iraq, so it Kurdish should be used domestically as well as in foreign relations.

8. We demand that Iran, Turkey and Syria recognize the Kurdish language in their constitutions and use it in the state education systems.

9. Efforts should be made to use the Kurdish language for technology and the Internet.

10. Kurdish media should prepare and present their programs in both alphabets, provided they use a standard unified alphabet.

11. The conference will establish a committee to follow up the implementation of the recommendations.

12. This conference should be held annually under the supervision of the KRG Ministry of Culture and Youth.

13. The conference hopes a Kurdistan national unity conference can be held.

14. Kurdistan universities should facilitate the admission of students from other parts of Kurdistan for the language and linguistics departments.

The American University in Sulaimani is a private, non-profit university offering a comprehensive, American-style liberal arts education to all qualified students regardless of their affiliation or origin.

Situated in Sulaimani, AUIS was initiated in 2006 by its Board of Trustees and opened its doors in October 2007. AUIS offers five undergraduate majors, one Master of Business Administration program, and English and professional courses through its Professional Development Institute. The University also has a full-time English language program for admitted undergraduate students who need further training in English before beginning academic courses.

AUIS was deliberately conceived as a liberal arts university, and to that effect, all undergraduate students have to complete a Core Program covering various fields in the humanities and the sciences before focusing on their major of choice. At all levels of instruction at AUIS, learning is enhanced by way of small and interactive classes, enabling candid, open discussions between students and faculty. As all classes are taught in English, students quickly become fluent in the language, opening doors to countless professional and academic opportunities in KRG and abroad.

Since welcoming its first class of 45 students back in the fall of 2007, AUIS has grown to over 550 undergraduate students hailing from all over Iraq. In addition to the rigorous academic course work, students are able to learn and express themselves through various extracurricular activities, including sports teams, debate and drama clubs, an independent student newspaper and numerous other organizations.

In June 2010, AUIS received a five-year award of unconditional accreditation from the American Academy for Liberal Education, recognizing the university for high standards in liberal arts education. AUIS is the only university in Iraq accredited in the Untied States.

kaka alan what is that stadium? I wish that there is an international stadium in Kurdistan just like Catalunya where they hosts games for the catalynian national team. I think we also have a national team and we can actually play against Asian or even European teams which is another method of recognition of Kurdistan.
