About the Kurdish (Kurmanji) language.
Kurmanji, or Northern Kurdish, is the most widely spoken Kurdish language. It is spoken in south-eastern Turkey, north-eastern Syria, the Duhok area of Iraq, north-western Iran and Armenia, and by a large diaspora in Europe. It is an Iranian language.
In Turkey and Syria Kurmanji is written in a Latin alphabet; in Iraq it is sometimes written in an Arabic-based script. It is not the same as Sorani, the Central Kurdish of Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, which has its own page. Documents sometimes arrive labelled only "Kurdish", so we check which one it is before quoting.
We translate in both directions. Kurmanji to English work is usually personal documents and statements for immigration and asylum cases. English to Kurmanji work is usually community information.
Official documents from Turkey, Syria and Iraq are often in Turkish or Arabic, which we also translate. Kurmanji documents include letters, affidavits and community and personal records. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
