In most Kurmanjis it should be Nazani or Nezani or in my dialect Nazoni.
One of the biggest differences between Kurmanji and Persian is that Kurmanji has had many changes like for example. In many words words that end with M change to W/V. Cham(eye) has become Chaw/Chav. Kurmanji also has dropped the D in middle of words, where it is present heavely in Persian and southern Kurdish and Zazaki. Kirdin>Kirin, Birada>Bira, Xwardin>Xwarin.
What Kurmanji and Persian do share is the same sound shifts, with the w/v>b/g and wv>Xh that is not present in southern Kurdish which is why many people cluster Kurmanji close to Persian. Sorani even tho similar to Kurmanji has been influenced by Gorani but retains some things that Kurmanji has dropped with Kirdin instead on Kirin.
Here is a another language compare, you might be interested in.

Just noticed on wiki about bulgarian language. Is just coincidence that
it shares some similarties with Northern Kurdish languages? or is it
something do to interaction?.
I know Kurmanji is most probably the most distant Kurdish dialect from Persian after Hawramni.
If you cansider modern Persian, Turkic languages have certainly had a strong influence on our language, it can be said at least one half of modern Persians words have Turkic, Arabic and Mongolic origins, of course it is not difficult to distinguish these words from otiginal Persian words, for example we know there is no q (ق) sound in Persian, so all words in Persian with sound have either Turkic or Arabic origin, of course Turkic word seems to be much more, if you just open the "Q" sections of a Persian dictionary then you will find hundreds Turkic words, like Qab "Plate, Dish", Qablama "Steam-tight", Qabuq "Skin", Qaen "Brother of husband", ...
About Ashkani Pahlavi and Sassanid Pahlavi, these are really similar to each other and modern Persian-speaking people can understand both languages, of course there are some differences between these languages, for example this is trilingual (Greek, Parthian and Persian) inscription of Ardashir I, the founder of Sassanid empire, in Naghsh-i-Rustam:
Ashkani Pahlavi (Pathian):
Patkar im mazdyazn bagh Artaxshathr, shahan shah Aryan, ki chihr azh yaztan, puhr bagh Papak shah.
Sassanid Pahlavi (Middle Persian):
Patkar in mazdyasn bagh Artaxshathr, shahan shah Iran, ke chithr hach yazdan, pus bagh Papak shah.
Modern Persian:
In Peykar khodaygan mazdiasn Ardashir, shahanshah-e Iran, ke chehr az yazdan, pesar-e khodaygan Babak shah [ast].
English:
This is the worshipper of Mazda the lord Ardashir, the king of kings of Iran, whose face resembles that of God and is the son of the lord Papak Shah.
can you give me some links or artcles or websites about the influence of turkic languages on Persian? i would be pleased if you can.
Balochii, If it doesn't have anything to do with Iranian languages, put a sock in it. That goes doubly for Simba and Diniyev.
I am sick and tired of seeing thread after thread hijacked and thrown off topic. I'm going to start giving one week vacations to violators.
If someone had made me aware of this thread when Diniyev was making these posts, I could have made some..........adjustments.

lol what has azerbaijan acheived? why are they so racist, i have noticed this before, the lands you hate, lraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan are lands of great civilizations, what has your azerbaijan achieved???
I m not racist. That is what Iranians and Persians are. As can be seen from opression of Southern Azeris.
You are, sir, a racist. A sneaky subtle one but a racist just the same. I've seen posts by you over the last2-3 years. Your very good at couching your ideas in what appears to be acceptable language. The language is acceptable, the ideas are not.

Emil is the good ol' troll that goes by the name of Zakali and Quzeyli. Regardless of what you throw at him, his brainwashed mind will never accept it.
there is no difference between tajik and persian language...only a little dialect differences that are ignorable.and in truth its is the azerbaijan republic who that is occupied by russians in qajar times...so both the azerbaijan state in iran and the SO CALLED COUNTRY of azerbaijan are parts of iran XD
As Kurd I find Tajik more easier to understand then Farsi. I think it is the same for Tajik speakers, as I have noticed that Tajiks also find Kurdish more easier to understand then Farsi speakers do, judging by comments by Tajiks on Youtube.

I am talysh. Talyshians are one of Iranian group.And separated by Azerbaijan and Iran. Our language is very old.
So were you born in Azerbaijan or Iran or somewhere else?
I was born in Baku(Azerbaijan).But i had lived in Moscow 14 years. After Moscow i arrived in Baku.But here I saw nationalism in relation to Talyshians, ridicule, and more .. After that I began to call myself Talysh everywhere. And i began to learn history of my nation and more more..

You said Turkic peoples are superiors and you talk of Arabs, Afghanis, and Pakistani's as if they are an inferior people... These were your words not mine:

You've also made several derogatory comments about Afghanistan and Pakistan and Persians. On top of that you have insulted users as well.
You claim to be a grown man, yet you sure dont act like one.
Furthermore, you know as well as I do that there are no such things as "Southern" Azaris, there are only Azaris.
No, I did not said that they were inferior peoples. I said they are your neigbhours.
And why do you think so? Look at this, whole stadium says "Azerbaijan is ours, "Afghanistan is yours" referring to Persians.
This is in Tabriz, occupied Southern Azerbaijan.
Of course there are Southern Azeris. Those who live in occupied Southern Azerbaijan, occupied by Iran.
Hahahahah It was the funiest joke i've ever seen. So Azerbaijan Republic occupied Talyshistan, Lezgistan, Avarstan.
There is no "Southern" Azerbaijan, we've already been through this. There is Azerbaijan (Iran) and the Republic of Azerbaijan (Caucasus).
And like I said before, propaganda travels fast and fools a lot of people, especially in the developing world. Hell, 30 years ago the parents of all of these kids, and my parents, and most Iranians, were easily fooled into supporting a theocratic dictatorship.
I have no doubt in my mind that those chanting such slogans actually believe what they are saying, but the truth is they are misguided and they are being manipulated.
The truth is, all the countries of the region deal with separatist issues such as this. Turkey has the Kurds, Azerbaijan has the Armenians, etc...
The situation is a lot more complicated that "this is my land" and "that is your land". Large parts of Azarbaijan have Kurdish inhabitants. Many times, Kurdish, Armenian, and Azari land claims over lap. Such movements are doomed to fail because they shoot themselves in the foot.
