“This is really cool! The UI is very intuitive and not annoying and the text it generated was interesting and the right level for me. This really is the first language tool I've seen in a while that's actually interesting and fresh.”

Every word in your Kurdish reading passage is clickable. Get English translations and grammar help — useful whether you're reading Latin-script Kurmanji or Arabic-script Sorani.
Type any topic and LingoBear generates a fresh Kurdish reading passage — useful when learning materials are split across dialects.
Kurdish is best understood as a continuum. Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish), spoken across Turkey, Syria and northern Iraq, is written in a Hawar Latin alphabet and uses gender on nouns and ergativity in past tenses. Sorani (Central Kurdish), used in Iraqi Kurdistan and western Iran, is written in a modified Perso-Arabic script and has lost gender but uses pronominal clitics. Speakers of one cannot usually read the other without training.
Kurdish belongs to the Northwestern Iranian branch of Indo-European, while Persian is Southwestern Iranian — the two are sister languages, not parent and child. They share many cognates (sing 'stone' in Kurdish ≈ sang in Persian) and Persian-derived loanwords are common in Sorani, but their core grammar and pronunciation diverge significantly. LingoBear lets you compare them by generating texts in either.
