    Foreword

    The purpose of this book is to give the reader an insight into the proverbs used within the Feyli dialect of Kurdish.

    Furthermore, it is a way to preserve and propagate the Feyli dialect.

    The book begins with an explanation of how the Latin letters are used. In order to preserve the correct pronunciation and prevent misunderstandings, each word is written exactly as they sound. I believe it to be of outmost importance since there are words that sound very similar to each other but have different meanings.

    To ensure that the proverbs spirit is not lost, I haven’t always translated them word for word.

    Where necessary, I have added additional comments for the proverbs to be understood correctly. The comments can be found below the English translation in [].

    The book ends with a glossary consisting of difficult words.

    Happy reading.
