Lecture: The Berferatî Dialect of Kurmanji Kurdish: An Internal Classification

This study (Bachelor Thesis) presents a lexical and phonological classification of the Berferatî dialect of Kurmanji Kurdish, spoken in parts of Turkey, Syria, and Iran. Based on translations obtained online of the Leipzig-Jakarta List and additional culturally relevant words from 14 native speakers from different locations, a classification was drawn up using phonological phenomena (Pharyngealization, Delabialization, Epenthesis etc.), a linguistic distance matrix and cluster analysis. This is the first internal classification of Berferatî Kurmanji and adds to the still scarce literature on Kurdish dialectology.
