English-Northern Kurdish Translations

[edit]

Although many efforts have been made to standardize Kurdish, the use of local varieties is still dominant to any proposed standard form. For that matter, the Kurdish translation should indicate the variety. Example:

*Kurdish:
*: Central Kurdish: {{t|ckb|ڕۆژ}}
*: Northern Kurdish: {{t|kmr|roj}}

This will appear as:

  • Kurdish:
    Central Kurdish: ڕۆژ (roj)
    Northern Kurdish: roj

Make sure you adhere to the use of the {{t}} template when entering English-Northern Kurdish translations.
