The present study entitled
“The Features and Meanings of Some Similar Kurdish Words in Khani’sand
Mawlawy’s Poems” which is an analytical and descriptive study. The purpose
behind this study is to highlight those similar words that have identical
features and meanings and can be found in the texts of both poets. The first
axis of the study is specified to give a brief account of both Kurmanji and
Goran dialects along with a synopsis of the both poets biography. In their
lives, poetshad their own influence on the Kurdish poetry and literature, on
the one hand Khani affected the nationalist concept and ideology, on the other
hand Mawlawy had his own effect in employing his natural imagery and his
lyrical themes.  The second axis of this
study is devoted to tackle the reasons behind resemblance between Kurdish
dialects in some grammatical cases. and referring to those words that are used
by both poets with the same meaning and imagery. The number of the similar
words that are found in Mawlawy’s anthology and Khani’sMumwzin is approximately
30 -40 words. Those words taken from the mentioned sources are the data of
analysis of this study which are used in poetical phrases and sentences.  One of the findings of this study is that
despite of having some sound differences between Kurdish dialects, those
variations have little effect on the standardization of the Kurdish language.
However,  the Kurdish language with its
different dialects is an authentic, genuine, old and consistent language.
