This chapter presents an overview of Northern Kurdish, or Kurmanjî (in various spellings), as it is spoken in eastern Anatolia. The material is largely based on two joint publications with Ergin Öpengin: Öpengin and Haig (2014), and Haig and Öpengin (2018), to which the reader is referred for further details. The variety of Kurmanjî spoken in northern Iraq (Behdinī, under various spellings) is treated in Haig (this volume, chapter3.3, §4). For the purposes of this chapter, “eastern Anatolia” is taken to coincide with the the eastern part of Turkey, extending south-eastward from a line beginning from Sivas, but excluding the Mediterranean and Black Sea coastal regions.
