🇬🇧 Bibliography

An endeavour has been made to compile as complete a bibliography as possible of books including lists of Kurdish words with translations: dictionaries, vocabularies, glossaries, grammars, etc. Unfortunately, the majority of these are out of print, and only to be found in a few specialist libraries - most of which, in any case, will usually contain only a very small proportion of the works cited. It is pointed out that while some of those emanating from the Soviet Union are still available, they are only accessible to students familiar with Russian or Armenian. It is hoped that the reference and notes will facilitate the research of those who wish to go further into the study of the Kurdish language.
