Sorani is a written standard of Central Kurdish developed in the 1920s (named after the historical Soran Emirate ) and was later adopted as the standard orthography of Kurdish as an official language of Iraq. Source: Internet

From a linguistic or at least a grammatical point of view, however, Kurmanji and Sorani differ as much from each other as English and German, and it would seem appropriate to refer to them as languages. Source: Internet

Reasons for describing Kurmanji and Sorani as 'dialects' of one language are their common origin and the fact that this usage reflects the sense of ethnic identity and unity among the Kurds. Source: Internet

Some historians have noted that it is only recently that the Kurds who speak the Sorani dialect have begun referring to their language as Kurdî, in addition to their identity, which is translated to simply mean Kurdish. Source: Internet
