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... :lol:

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 - "Far"
B b - "Bed"
C c - "Joy"
Ch ch - "Chat"
D d - "Dear"
E e - "Actually"
Ê ê - "Key"
F f - "Faith"
G g - "Game"
H h - "Have"
I i - "Earth"
Î î - "English"
J j - "Casual"
K k - "Keep"
L l - "Late"
(FOR SORANÎ) LL ll - "Tall" 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 :lol: 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 - "Turn"
Û û - "Two"
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?

well I have not the same problems because in a French key board we have î ô û, and ç (but not in capital).

The only real problem is S, (sh)... so I see that most sites now write it like that : s+, .
