Exact figures on the number of speakers of Kurdish are difficult to obtain and range from 20 to 40 million. Of these, the majority live in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. There are also smaller speaker groups in neighboring countries such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Israel and Lebanon. In addition, there is a worldwide diaspora, with the number of people of Kurdish origin in Germany alone estimated at up to one million.
The Kurdish language is divided into three major dialect groups: Kurmanji, which is spoken primarily in the north and has the largest number of speakers, Central Sorani, and Southern Kurdish, which is a collective term rather than a term used by speakers. Kurdish is written either in the Kurdish-Latin alphabet or in the Persian writing system. The transition here is fluid. In the north, mainly the former is used, in the south the latter.
Kurdish contains numerous loan words from both Arabic and Persian. Nevertheless, it is one of the few Iranian languages that has retained its Indo-European roots. For example, “star” means stêr und “brother“ means bra. Kurdish is also closely related to the Zaza and Gorani languages, which used to be considered Kurdish dialects but are now considered languages in their own right.
We offer the following services for Kurdish:
Certified translation of documents in Kurdish
You grew up in a Kurdish-speaking country like Turkey, Syria, Iraq or Iran and would now like to live and work in Germany or vice versa? For occasions such as marriage, naturalization, application for parental allowance, studies, pension and many others, the authorities request a certified translation of your documents.
We will help you with the translation.
- Originals are usually not required for the issuance of a certified translation, but you must be able to present them to authorities upon request.
- Translations of documents are provided including certification by a translator sworn-in by a court in Germany.
- Our translations for Kurdish are recognized by all German authorities and offices.
- We will send your translation by mail to the address of your choice in Germany.
- Commission us online to translate your Kurdish documents and process your orders electronically.
- We can provide you with a digital copy in advance upon request.
A certificate evaluation is an official document issued by the Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen – ZAB). It describes foreign higher education qualifications and certifies professional as well as academic uses. This is intended to facilitate access to the German labor market and enable students to continue their studies in Germany. It is a comparative classification, but not a recognition.
For more information on the equivalence recognition process and how your diplomas will be evaluated, please visit the official website of the Central Office for Foreign Education of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (Kultusministerkonferenz – KMK).
You can check the evaluation of your certificates and degrees in advance in the Anabin database.
You can also check the value of your foreign university qualification and research further information.
Information about school degrees with university admission can also be found at Anabin. You can check under which conditions you can take up an undergraduate course of study in Germany with a foreign secondary qualification.
Depending on the federal state, other recognition and advisory offices are responsible for recognizing the equivalence of your degrees, certificates or diplomas from a Kurdish-speaking country. On Anabin you can find information not only about relevant authorities, but also about advisory bodies without direct recognition competence. They can provide you with information on numerous issues relating to recognition in Germany.
Except for Turkey, no Kurdish-speaking country is part of the Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille Convention). Therefore, depending on the country, the processes for legalization of documents differ, with only a few documents being issued purely in Kurdish. Depending on the country, most certificates are instead issued in Turkish, Arabic or Farsi, or alternatively multilingual. Also, in Iraq, for example, the processes for legalizing documents from the Kurdistan Region differ greatly from those in the rest of the country.
So if you want to have Kurdish documents legalized, contact appropriate consulates or embassies. There, you can usually find help.
By default, the certification is carried out by a translator who is sworn in by a court in Germany. Please note that we offer certified translations only from German or into German.
