The Kurdish people are an ethnic group primarily found in the mountainous regions of the Middle East, particularly in parts of Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria. They have their own distinct language, known as Kurdish, which belongs to the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian languages. Kurdish culture is rich and diverse, featuring traditional music, dance, and clothing. The Kurdish New Year, known as Newroz, is celebrated every spring and symbolizes renewal and the arrival of spring. Despite their long history and cultural identity, the Kurdish people have faced political challenges and struggles for autonomy in the regions they inhabit.
