Kurdish has three standardized versions:

Northern (>3/4 of speakers) = Kurmanji (ku.wikipedia.org, also used for other varieties)	Turkey, Syria and northern parts of Kurdish-speaking Iraq & Iran	mainly Latin script, also Arabic
Central = Sorani (ckb.wikipedia.org)	west Iran and much of Iraqi Kurdistan	Perso-Arabic script
Southern = Kermanshahi (wp/sdh)	Kermanshah province of Iran	Arabic script
Laki (wp/lki)	often grouped under Southern

Zaza–Gorani languages

Many speakers of the Zaza–Gorani languages, particularly including Zazaki, Dimli, Gorani and Shabaki actually consider themselves as Kurds despite separate classification by various texts.

• Gorani (wp/hac)
• Zazaki (wp/zza) = macrolanguage (see also meta:Requests for comment/Zazaki wikipedia etc)
  • (diq.wikipedia.org)
  • wp/kiu
