Dear Felicity - The short answer is I haven't got a clue. It seems, gathering from various sites, that the main languages are Kurdish, Arabic & Turkish. Kurdish is an Indo-European language, distinct from the others. There are also numerous Kurdish dialects. Amongst all the organisations promoting Kurdish culture etc., in the world, one which might be worth contacting: the Kurdish Library in Stockholm, Sweden. It's website= http://www.kurdishlibrary.org email= info@kurdishlibrary.org Good luck (and let us know any results!)!
