Sorani (Central Kurdish) is written in a modified Arabic script and spoken mainly in Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran — this keyboard's script. Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish), spoken mainly in Turkey and Syria, is written in Latin script instead and has different grammar. They're related but not mutually intelligible without effort.
Type normally in Kurdlish mode or on the visual keyboard — the tashkeel panel lets you add precise vowel marks so classical verses read exactly as intended. Many users paste Nali's or Ahmad Khani's poetry here to share on Facebook or WhatsApp.
Yes, completely. No account, no subscription, no watermark on copied text, and no limit on how much you type. The site is supported by ads, not by charging Kurdish speakers to type their own language.
Kurdish (all dialects combined) has around 30-45 million speakers across Iraq, Iran, Turkey, and Syria — the Kurds are often described as the world's largest ethnic group without their own state — plus a significant diaspora across Europe.
Sorani adds vowel letters that standard Arabic script doesn't write explicitly — including ه (final h), ۆ (o), ێ (e), and ڵ (heavy l) — making Sorani's script closer to a true alphabet than Arabic or Persian's more consonant-focused writing systems.
Tap the 123 button to open the number panel. It shows both Western digits (0-9) and Eastern Arabic-Kurdish numerals side by side, so you can pick whichever your audience expects.
