P1 -Where are you from?
P2 -Well, I am from Kurdistan?
P1 -Kurdistan? I am familiar with the middle east but I have never heard of Kurdistan!A ordinary situation when somebody wonders where you are from often ends up in a conversation when you are kind of forced to lecture your friend about your herritage and your non-existing country.
This is why you must be prepared.

Hey, nice blog.
I agree with this post! Every new person you meet - this is the standard intro to the conversation!
However, there are hundreds of dialects - not several.
Keep up the good work
Your fellow Kurd
