Language and Identity as the Main Characteristics of Kurdish Survival as a Nation

By Tahseen Wsu Abdullah

Language and identity are two inseparable parts of the formation of the structure of human society in the context of the relationship between individuals and society, in the sense that language forms the basis of national identity. Although the main role of language is to build relationships, it also reminds us of building relationships within the individual and determining individual loyalty.
Identity carries the parts of ethnicity, language, religion, and culture. The issue of identity and language and how they behave as two parts of the structure of human society is so important that some sociologists and social science analysts believe that nations are not the product of the new era Legends take effect.
In the present day, proper mapping of the future of language and its impact on strengthening national identity is very important compared to the past. Therefore, a proper and scientific assessment of the impact of language on national identity in the future is a national need.
According to experts, the source of national identity and national spirit of any country is spiritual and semantic factors, and the national spirit of any nation is the reason for creating national unity.
Some experts consider ideology to be the cause of identities, especially national and linguistic identities, and believe that all ideologies reflect differences between themselves and others, interact more fully in the context of democracy, and interaction between different nations is largely based on language differences.
The new view of linguists is that language is not only reflected in the emergence of facts and knowledge of the environment, but also plays a major role in creating facts and influences and repeats concepts and human behavior in the world.
Kurds as a nation, what has played a major role in their survival is their language, despite all the oppression and injustice that the dominant nations (Iraq and Syria “Arab nation”, Turkey “Turkish nation”, and Iran “Persian nation”). They have played an important role in preserving the national language, promoting the development of the Kurdish language through various writers and publications of intellectuals and political movements. They have played an important role in preserving the dignity of the Kurdish language.
The occupying states and the dominant nations have constantly launched a war for the survival of the Kurds through language in order to use it as a gateway to the collapse and destruction of the Kurds as a nation.
What is important for us now is to try to protect the national language as the main sphere of national identity, by uniting efforts to transcend the ideological framework and become a public concern in an organized framework Funerals be determined.
Therefore, most experts insist on the impact of identity on the national language and the national language is the cause and carrier of identity and the defense and preservation of national identity, requires cultural and linguistic unity. The national language serves as a strong context, whose strengthening and preservation contributes to the development, progress and unity of national identity within the framework of a common and unified language.
