Roj Bash Kurdistan

I'm wondering do other members here understand Kurdish fayli? Because I have real difficulties understanding Kurmanji, evne other southern dialects. There more videos on that channel.

i'm kurmanji speaker, the strange with kurmanji and sorani and this language is, i understand many words and more than 50% maybe 80% but i cant set the words together and make sense of them. do you understand this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etMvMCYZ404&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1    it should be very close to feyli.

but the dialects is sounding beautiful. all dialects and languages of kurds have their own beauty. but they are all worlds bests number 1.

I Know Sorani and Kurmanji and arabic and I fully understand what he is saying .

Yeh I guess so, but I didn't realise is we faylis have our own TV slot of Newroz TV. Every 6:00pm GMT friday.

So do Soranis understand Fayli? For me it's the way Soranis speak and their accent basically.

Yes I;m Sorani and I understand almost everything they say.

so basicaly you speak same language but with different dialect. but what with kurmanji, zazaki, hewrami, laki and so... do understand these languages as no speaker of these languages?

I do not know much about Zazaki , but I'm yet to find a kurdish dialect that I do not understand ,,well at least most of what the preson is saying . The root of the words is mostly the same and I think learning both sorani and Kurmanji makes it easier to understand the other dialects , may be not completely , but at least communication is possible .
The major obsticle is when a dialect uses some arabic or turkish words .Fayli due to their geographical proximity with arabs along with arabization uses lots of arabic words which makes it very difficult for someone from Northern or western Kurdistan to understand .

as long as the sorani speaker understand arabic he will understand fayli .

Well if you know Sorani you understand Fayli, and for me it's harder to understand kurmanji in Bakur compared to the kurmanji they speak in wimre or Maku in Rojhelat probably bcoz of influence. If you know Zazaki, you'll understand Hawrami.

yes you are right, i have seen here (in denmark) southern kurds who spoke danish with me and sad that they dont understand "konya" kurdish and did funny of us but there are normal no communitation problems, because they speak close to kurmanji as possible, there are only problems when they begin to speak with each other fluent sorani. here in denmark its most sorani speakers who are clever to learn to communicate with kurmanji speakers. just the opposite of south kurdistan.

My closest friend,which i have known for 15-16 years,is a fayli kurd from Khanaqin. i understand fayli 100%
