Kurdish latin script?
I can't read the Arabic script.. but I just downloaded - and it said - "You don't need the Tomaha update as your system is a new (XP) version. I kiss you"
All in Soranî Latin script - except the "I kiss you" part...
But anyway - What I am wondering is: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? You obviously CAN write the R as it is supposed to be in Latin Kurdish script... Do you have TWO R's in Arabic script???
This is the Kurdish Latin Script:
*****************AS in English*******************
A a - "F
ar"
B b - "
Bed"
C c - "
Joy"
Ch ch - "
Chat"
D d - "
Dear"
E e - "
Actually"
Ê ê - "K
ey"
F f - "
Faith"
G g - "
Game"
H h - "
Have"
I i - "
Earth"
Î î - "
English"
J j - "Ca
sual"
K k - "
Keep"
L l - "
Late"
(FOR SORANÎ) LL ll - "Ta
ll" in Kurdish it is found in words such as: "Tall" (BITTER) "Gellek" (MUCH) "All" (FLAG)
M m - "
Man"
N n - "
Night"
O o - "
Order"
P p - "
Party"
Q q - THEY DON'T HAVE THIS SOUND IN ENGLISH
It is like when we say "Qaz"(DUCK) "Qotî" (BOX) "Qelem"(PENSEL) "Qanûn" (LAW) (Arabic word
) etc.... Go figure!
R r - "
Rare"
S s - "
Save"
,S ,s - "
Share"
T t - "
Take"
U u - "T
urn"
Û û - "T
wo"
V v - "
Veteran"
W w - "
War"
X x - THEY DON'T HAVE THIS SOUND IN ENGLISH - It is usally made into "KH" when this sound is used in names of people in in English: "Kh(X)atemî" and in Kurdish it is used in these words: "Xua/Xuda" (GOD) "Xatir"(MEMORY) "Xizmet"(SERVICE) "Xor"(SUN - SORANÎ) "Xendan"(SUGER BOWL)
Y y - "
Yard"
Z z - "
Zebra" - "
Zebarî"
And this concludes the Kurdish sounds... They total 31-32...(If you count the Soranî "LL" "ll")
Medya - was that of any help?
