I know that mehrdad izady say this, but he is alone with saying this. allmost all kurdish and unkurdish historians and linguists agree that feyli, leki, kelhor is closer to kurmanci and sorani and not zazaki and hewrami.
Which linguists say that please? Give me some names. Mehrdad Izady says basically what most big linguists and historians of our time say. Kelhurri is closer to Sorani while Laki build together with Hewrami the Gorani group. Lakis can understand Hewrami but they cant understand pretty much Sorani.
Exactly Sorani sounds alien to me, in both aspects. The words and the accent. Whilst Hewrami sounds much mroe familar. Though I sure you about Khaluri, I have heard Khaluri and it does sound like Sorani, but I have seen some identify as Fayli Kurds. Plus on Kurd Fayli site they belong to the Laki/Luri Kurds, well atleast that is how they are classified.
