Kurdish Wikipedia (Kurmanji Kurdish: Wîkîpediya kurdî, Sorani Kurdish: ویکیپیدیای کوردی) refers to two Wikipedia editions which are written in two forms of Kurdish language; Kurmanji and Sorani. The original one was founded in January 2004. As of September 2024, Kurmanji Wikipedia has 83,808 articles and Sorani Wikipedia has 70,947 articles.[1] There are also two other Wikipedia editions for Zazaki and Southern Kurdish, the second one is still in test phase.
History
The Kurdish Wikipedia established on January 7, 2004,[2] designed to contains articles in Kurmanji and Sorani at the same time. On August 12, 2009, Kurdish Wikipedia separated into two versions due to technical and linguistic issues. The old version (ku.) remained as Kurmanji Kurdish Wikipedia and a new version (ckb.) created for Sorani Kurdish Wikipedia.
