There are many languages that are taught in Kurdistan. In public schools, its only Kurdish and english. But at private schools, they teach german, swedish, dutch, french, "turkish", arabic, russian etc.

Kurmanji is a kurdish dialect not a language.

What dialect of Kurdish are they learning? Is there a unified language that is being taught?

In Hewlêr Suli and Kirkuk its Soranî in Duhok it's Bahdini.

It's NOT unified but KRG is working on it. However in Kurdish subject for eg there is Bahdini been taught as well but the main of all subjects are taught in Soranî and in duhok likewise.

Latini is also taught along side in Kurdish subject.

Kurdish and English are compulsory while other languages are optional.
