Is Kurdish a "white language?

[Halgurd]

Iranic migrations to Anatolia already happened over 2500 years ago during the Median Empire, but back then there was no "Kurds" but probably some ancestral people to the Kurds.'

And do you have a source for that? The ethnonym 'Kurd' is much older than 2500 years, dating back to the Sumerians when the 'Kurti' clan descended from the mountains and conquered Sumer and Mesopotamia. They were most likely associated with the Hurrians. Even in the Sumerian language, 'kur' meant 'mountain' and so it's very clear where the ethnonym originates from.

I thought kurd meant nomad?

Then the Kurds are Iranized people, I know the ethnonym Kurd is older than 2500 years but there was no Iranic settlements up until the emergence of the Median Empire which spread all the way to the middle of modern Turkey.

That's the other theory, that it's supposed to designate a way of life. But if that is the case how come Turkic nomads and Arabian nomads in the same geographical region were not called 'Kurds'? Clearly it has a different meaning. 'Kurti' would roughly translate to 'mountain dweller' in the Sumerian language (kur meaning mountain + suffix ti designating a person) which makes much more sense.

Besides, not all Kurds were nomads as some clans have always been urban dwellers or simply settled down and adopted an agricultural way of life. In fact Kurdish traditional way of life was not entirely nomadic but semi nomadic. It means they migrate within a given geographical region.

West Iranian tribes were all nomadic til they migrated to their designated regions, Parsu and Media. They were nomadic for a long time before they settled and mixed with the native population, the only Iranian tribes that didn't settle were the Scytho-Sarmatians and perhaps some few other East Iranian tribes.

And Syrians are Saudi Arabians, nice try tho. They are similar but not the same at all lol.

Ur Persians that moved westward from Iran sometime ago. Why else would Kurdish be considered an Iranic language? You are literally from Iran!

If Kurdish is Persian then English is German.
