Yezidis and Kurmanj

In this post we would like to deal with the topic of how the term “Kurmanc” (Kurmanj) is perceived by the Yezidis. This topic is important to us because it plays a greater role in the present and future debate on Yezidi identity.

Until a few decades ago, mainly outsiders have written about Yezidi religion and history. For many of the outsiders it was clear that the Yezidis were Kurds because of their language, Kurmanj, since in the ethnology of the time the Kurdish ethnicity was dominated by Muslim Kurmanji speakers. This changed when Yezidi academics started to deal with Yezidism scientifically.
