wich dialect is the standard dialect? wich dialect say "çitorî rindî?" because we say similar "çirtikî rindî?"
'çıturia, rında' is using in the Eastern Dersim and Erzincan dialect.
We western Dersimis (Xozat-Ovacik) say 'sena, rında?' like the other Zazas (senênê, rındê).
No dialect or region is standard, we mixed the most original words of all dialects. You can do this in Kurmanji too.

There are two standards: 1. Vate, 2. Zazaki Institute Frankfurt.

and is this realy a TV channel? if so congratulations.
It's an online TV.
the right in kurmanci is xwastin with A not xwestin. this is a big fail the kurdish media and litterature write and say.
Yes, I know, xwastin is more original, because this Old Iranian -e- changed even in Middle Iranian to -â-, look Avesta xveher "sister" which was in Sogdian xwâr, the rests of it you can see in "xwarzî" (nephew, son/daughter of sister).
Therefore i favor a standardizing via etymological informations.
And also "zindî" is a big disaster, it's a pure persian word. The right Kurmanji were: jindî (also not jînde, because this î is false, it's a short i, look Farsi zinde, Zazaki cınde).
