    Question Pashto-Kurdish similarities

    It's kind of amazing that Kurdish and Pashto have so much similarities. Sometimes even the verbs are similar. There is still no solid explanation as to why these 2 languages have so many similarities to the exclusion of Persian. I mean they are sort of geographically seperated by Persian speakers.

    I think there is no other explanation that somehow these 2 populations are very connected in the past. Here are some sentences/words. I'll be adding to this later. Feel free to comment.

    Nice! What beautiful languages I wish Turkey recognized Kurdish and other minority languages as officially "minority languages" and open schools in those languages in provinces where those languages are frequently spoken. So people wouldn't be assimilated there wouldn't be any minority problems in Turkey.

    *NOTE: I'm not supporting seperation! I'm just supporting the freedom of using minority languages and cultures. Also I don't want those languages to die! Please don't take it as "separatism"! Thank you...

    Indeed. Diversity in languages, cultures and even phenotypes makes for a more interesting world. Sadly it looks like diversity in all those areas will decline with time.

    I agree. Turkish goverment must do something to stop declining of those beautiful languages and cultures. But unfortunately we have many brainless so called "Turks" here. They call speaking different languages other than Turkish as "separatism". What does that have to do with separatism? Even there was a language census at 60s' Turkey. Unfortunately the grandchildren of people with that mindset lived at 80s' pro-coup Turkey still lives here... and this pro-coup mindset says there's no such a thing as Kurdish. So cringe!

    Also 75% of my close friends are Kurdish but none of them knows Kurdish or know a bit. If I was the president of Turkey, I'd open schools in minority languages in where the minority languages are spoken frequently (such as Kurdish schools in Diyarbakır or Laz schools in Rize) and also a "protecting Turkey's languages & cultures ministry", but such things are impossible...

    About 20-30% of the nouns i wrote are as close to pashto in persian also, but i’m talking about the 70-80% kurdish words and verbs i wrote that are much closer pashto-kurdish than pashto-persian
