Neo-Kurdish, natively Nûkurdî, is an a posteriori constructed auxillary language in the Northwestern Iranian group of the Indo-European family. The goal of this project is to unify all Kurds with a single language. As of 2023, Kurds are very divided in a huge variety of dialects and/or languages, which makes it hard for Kurds of different regions to communicate with each other.
