About Badini

What is Badini Kurdish?

Badini is a dialect of Kurmanji Kurdish. It is the everyday language of the Badinan region in northern Iraq, covering cities like Duhok, Zakho, and Aqrah. Millions of people speak it. Badini is also spoken in southeastern Turkey, parts of Syria, and pockets of Iran, as well as by Kurdish communities across Europe and beyond.

Kurmanji is the most widely spoken Kurdish dialect overall. Badini is one of its regional varieties. It belongs to the Northwestern Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. Speakers of Badini share much of their vocabulary and grammar with other Kurmanji speakers, but there are differences in pronunciation, word choice, and idiom that set Badini apart.

Badini is written in two scripts. In Iraq, the Arabic script is standard and used in schools, government, and media. In Turkey and among diaspora communities, the Latin script is more common. Both scripts are fully supported by this translator, so you can switch between them depending on your audience.

Despite having millions of speakers, Badini is underserved by major translation platforms. Google Translate and most other tools do not support it. That gap is what this project aims to fill. The Badini Translator provides translations between Badini and 11 world languages. It is not perfect, but it gives speakers and learners a starting point that did not exist before.
