Kurmanci is spoken by a larger population than Sorani whom they live in Turkey and Syria. It's written in Latin alphabet. Sorani is spoken by a lesser population in Iraq and Iran, but the exact amount is unknown. According to Wikipedia 6 million Kurds speak Sorani, However the statistics are not reliable.
Sorani is the official language of Iraqi government and also Kurdistan Regional Government which is an autonomic region in northern Iraq, while Kurds in Turkey are not allowed to speak their mother language, Kurmanji. So the possibility of Sorani to grow and become the standard dialect of the Kurds is stronger.
Here, you will learn Sorani dialect with us. Originally, Sorani is written in a modified Arabic alphabet, but for you to easily read, we will write in Latin alphabet.
