About the Kurdish (Sorani) language.
Sorani, or Central Kurdish, is spoken in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, including Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, and in western Iran. Kurdish is an official language of Iraq alongside Arabic, and Sorani is the main written form used by the Kurdistan Regional Government. It is an Iranian language written in an Arabic-based script, from right to left.
Sorani is not the same as Kurmanji, the Northern Kurdish of Turkey, Syria and the Duhok area, which is usually written in the Latin alphabet and has its own page. Documents sometimes arrive labelled only "Kurdish", so we check which one it is before quoting.
We translate in both directions. Sorani to English work is usually civil and identity documents from the Kurdistan Region and statements for immigration and asylum cases. English to Sorani work is usually community information and business content.
Common documents include birth and marriage certificates, identity documents, school records and court papers. Iraqi federal documents are often in Arabic, which we also translate. A certified translation is available for these. If an authority asks for a sworn translation, ask us to confirm availability for the language pair.
