Wow, pretty agressive reaction right here to a simple post....
No one is saying that Kurds are Persian and that Kurds shouldnt have a nation...calm down. The user simply pointed out linguistic similarities, WHICH DO EXIST, because as stated, we fall under the same language tree of Iranian languages.
however, can a regular Kurdish speaker understand a Persian speaker and vise versa? probably not because of accent differences and because most of the words are different. Maybe if they talked really slowly they could understand a few words here and there, which is what the user said.
As you can see from the list i posted above, there are many similarities between Kurdish and Persian, just differences in pronunciation.
Not similar? So why do I understand some of what a Persian says, even tho my Kurdish is not that great?, only big difference is the accent in which they pronounce some words differently.
Words that are similar, their are many more then I listed.

I am Kurd from Turkey and my kurdish is not that good and understand maybe 70%. So anway when a Persian speaks in Farsi I can understand 30-50% of the words they say. Only problem is some persians speak in a accent that is difficult to understand. But when ahmadinejad speaks it sounds like his speak Kurdish and I can understand a lot of words.
Just look at this chart of the Iranian langues, I read somewhere else that Farsi was over 50% similar to Kurdish. Going by the chart I think it is true.
Yesh ^^ Soon you'll give me scientific sources that prove the ancient Greeks and Egyptians were partly Turkish too. The Latin-Americans also have some Turkic blood, maybe you should annex their lands too. Aye ?

Hurrians and Guttians
We are Kurmanji , Kelhorians , Lurians û Goranians ( Today's tribes)
One other theory is that the term Kurmanji is believed by some scholars to mean MedianKurd.[1]
The Magi Theory
Other scholars dismiss the above theories as false. These scholars claim the term Kurmanji originates from the two distinct words, kur (“boy” or “child”) and magi. Magi refers to one of the ancient tribes of the Median Empire whose priests are referenced in the Bible and are commonly known as the Three Wise Men from Medya.[2] The direct translation applied to the term Kurên Magî is “Children of Magi”. Scholars say that Manji is simply a distorted form of the original term. These scholars also claim that the Magi tribe, or followers of the priests that were referred to as “Magi of the people”, may have been the original speakers of Proto-Kurdish.[3] Indeed pre-modern documents write the name Kurmanj as Kurmaj; For instance Masture Ardalan writes: ... the third group of Kurmaj are Baban... Also there is a desire in Kurdish to add a n before j. (ex. Iranian taj in Kurdish becomes tanj.and " n" in some words is optional eg. "mi" English" i" can be spoken "min"). But probably it has more than one meaning as it is seen above since all these meanings fully related to each other and as many important names and countless words in Kurmanci/Kurdish has more than one meaning.Thus the name/word Kurmanc and Kurmanci has e few meanings
The ancient Magi were a hereditary priesthood of the Medes (known today as the Kurds) credited with profound and extraordinary religious knowledge. After some Magi, who had been attached to the Median court, proved to be expert in the interpretation of dreams, Darius the Great established them over the state religion of Persia. (2) (Contrary to popular belief, the Magi were not originally followers of Zoroaster. (3) That all came later.)
Iskit, not trying to offend you , but The point was not to argue about where Sythians and Turks came from.
There are tens of topic just in this forum covering that just search for them . The point was to show the general logic of thinking and what could have caused that.
This thread has picture of today’s central Asian Turks
and you insist that they are the same ethnicity as people living in Istanbul . The only thing they have in common with Anatolian Turks is that they speak a Turkic based language but at the same time like to deny historical evidence because the language argument is not sufficient,
If you think today’s linguistics connections points to something the ancient connections are ten times more valid because people lived more sparsely and were isolated from each other.
Based on what you are saying it seem that Turkish government has created its own ultra nationalistic version of history and bombards the kids with that. Now the kids have grown up and try to fit realty that the rest of world believes in into what hey have been told rather than the other way around.
First Kurds didn’t exist and now other Iranians and Indian need to disappear from history. The danger is not toward you is toward the Kurdish kid that has to deny his/her identity just to fit the stories you have told all your life
ok. but ı want to say last thing at this topic about scytians; Real historians dont find new things. They are ameliorating the history knited by lies, fiction and racism. They are showing the people what truht is. Not manipulating the people like made by İe historians.
