| Summary: | The Kurdish speech community in Iraq, autonomous since 1991, has witnessed an important situation of multilingualism due to the existence of a large number of refugees (more than two million). On the other hand, in spite of the official status of the Kurdish language in Iraq, the Kurds in this country have not yet managed to unify a Kurdish standard language, having the same use in education systems and Kurdish media. How do the Kurds of Iraq, whose language is widely considered as the essential element in their national identity, contribute today to the assertion and protection of this identity ? To be able to answer this question, this article will lean on the data which we collected within the framework of our memory during the Master's program in 2013, during a survey led with the Kurds of Iraq. The latter worried about the current situation of their language within their society. They demanded the Kurdish government and the Kurdish academy to give more importance to the question of the kurdish language and its development to better protect the Kurdish national identity. |
