KAL is an ELECTRONIC NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION (e-NGO) and has been initiated on independent volunteering bases as a global open network since 1993. Members with skills in linguistic, and information technology are sharing their thoughts around Kurdish linguistic issues. They seek information, solutions and focus on a future for better understanding of the Kurdish language. KAL is a community of people who has responded to this crucial question of our society.
"Herwekí me cend jaran gotiye yekitiya mileté kurd bi yekítiya zimané kurdí téte pé. Di yekítiya zimané de gava péshín jhí yekítiya herfan e.

"As I have noted before, the Kurdish nation will converge via a unified Kurdish language. The prerequisite of a unified Kurdish language is a unified Kurdish alphabet. This means that the Kurdish scholars and the literati need to develop a writing system that allows all speakers hailing from every Kurdish dialect to use that writing system." |

How can I get involve with projects such as KAL and KURDISTANICA so that I might be able to contribute to this good cause?
Sat, 28/06/2008 - 17:47 — Admin
One thing that Individuals/organisations can do to support projects like KAL and KURDISTANICA is to ask their friends, colleagues or fellow organizational members to get involve in turning hard copy material into electronic (scanning, typing etc.). If you are conversant in other relevant languages, you can help translate texts from English into Persian, Turkish, Arabic (and vice versa), as well as proof-reading English translations. These types of contribution make the information available to all others whose linguistic knowledge is limited.

Don't you think the borrowed letter [ḥ: ح] which is very commonly in use needs a representation?
Fri, 19/06/2009 - 17:07 — Admin
Many words have been borrowed into Kurdish without being Kurdified, as Kurdish never had rules for these sort of activities. Some of these words have found home in the Kurdish language and people learned to pronounce them exactly as the native language. However, this is not widely accepted and only certain sub-dialects are able to practice it. These loanwords largely borrowed from Semitic languages often contained phonemes which were not represented in Kurdish as an Indo-Iranic language, such as [ḥ: ح].
Kurdish Scripts Conversion tools
In an attempt to bridge the Kurdish writing systems with Kurdish Unified Alphabet (Yekgirtú) a set of computer auto generating conversion applications have been introduced by Kurdish Academy of Language KAL. These will convert Kurdish-Arabic text, Kurdish-Cyrillic text and Kurdish-Latin text based into Yekgirtú.Kurmanjí weke xerj ú címentoya yekítiya di navbera perceyén Kurdistané de ye

New Kurdish ball for state TV broadcast pitch

The chairman of Diyarbakır’s top football team said his club has applied to have their matches broadcast in Kurdish.
Diyarbakırspor Chairman Abdurrahman Yakut said the club had applied to the general directorate of the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation, or TRT, to have their matches shown next season in Kurdish on the TRT’s Kurdish language channel, TRT-6.
"TRT-6 already shows match highlights, so why not all of it," said Yakut.
