In kurdish there are some words which one of the vowels in some readings is omitted. for example;

silav(silaw)--------->slav or slaw(i prefer slav or silav because we dont pronounce last letter as "W" (like in Word,World in eng) but it is pronounced as "V" (Vein,Veil in eng))


bira------->bra
etc..


is there a standardized form for these words? which use is better?

the Kurdish "i" is so light and quickly saying that it could be omitted (as in soranî). There are variation of spelling for certain words, like "bra". But in general we write it.

"v" is different from "w", but as for sorani speakers, i noticed "silaw" or "slaw" is much more used than silav..
n as for "i", as piling said, this letter is ommited in sorani!

ops! sorry for the confusion
well, as a native sorani speaker, i always omit it when it comes to that! or maybe better say, the way it is said, is really quick, just like its never there! still confused?
did u have a look at the link i gave u in my previous post? that might help!

but piling is right, in general we write it, "silaw"
tho when it comes to saying it, its almost like this "i" is never been there!

ok ic thanx for clarification

my pleasure
