Description
The book Namdaranê Kurdan reveals its purpose with clarity.
First of all: we know that our language – Kirmanckî – is not merely a tool of daily speech, but a voice of refinement and beauty. According to UNESCO classifications, Kirmanckî/Dimilkî is placed among endangered languages. Yet the peril lies not only in policies of assimilation, but also in our own neglect, when we fail to nurture and cherish it.We know: a language that is not written, that does not produce literature, weakens, fades, and slips into oblivion. The loss of a language is always the loss of a nation.
For this reason, Kirmanckî must be upheld and cultivated, so that among Kurds it may be recognized as a unifying thread, a language written, read, and spoken with clarity and dignity. As the saying goes: “When the fortress burns, only the writings remain.”
Moreover: we Kurds of the North have gathered far too little of our history, culture, literature, language, and art. This is a deprivation, a wound. And yet, in every field we have our renowned forerunners. We must come to know the historians, artists, journalists, poets, novelists, linguists, writers, Dengbêjs, musicians, philosophers, leaders, and heroes of the Kurdish people. This work invites us to reconnect with the knowledge and the national spirit that dwell in our history, our literature, our philosophy, our art, and our leaders.
