Kurmanji Dialect of Kurdish: Kurmanji is a dialect of Kurdish, which belongs to the Indo-European language family and the Iranian language group. It is primarily spoken in eastern Turkey and Syria, but there are also Kurds who speak Kurmanji in Iraq and Iran. Unlike the Sorani dialect of Kurdish, Kurmanji switched to the Latin alphabet in the mid-20th century. One of the most important works of Kurdish literature, Mem û Zîn, written by Ahmed Khani, was written in the Arabic script. Additionally, Kurmanji has a rich oral literature tradition. Kurmanji also has several sub-dialects, such as Berferati, Serhedi, Boti, Behdini, and Torî, which are examples of these sub-dialects. The language of the Yazidi religion is also Kurmanji.

The Northern Luri language is a branch of the Luri language, spoken by the Minjai people and other Northern Lur communities. It represents the northernmost dialect of Luri, sharing close ties with neighboring Kalhari and Lekki dialects. Influenced by its geographical position, Northern Luri reflects linguistic interactions with Kurdish and Lek communities to the north, as well as Bakhtiaris to the south and west. Despite influences from Persian due to cultural integration, Northern Luri retains its distinct lexicon, grammar, and oral traditions. Efforts among speakers to preserve the language are ongoing, ensuring its survival as a cultural and linguistic identity.
