The Kurds are an Iranian ethnic group but their main languages are Kurdish and Zaza-Gorani. [You KNOW I couldn't have made THAT up.]

It's a most interesting site.
Are you dissing Zaza-Goranis? ;-)
The Kurds have wanted Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and Armenia to give the Kurds land... from their own sovereign nations....
Iran, Iraq, and Syria were created by the bureaucrats in the British Foreign Office with little regard for tribal, national, boundaries, etc. Some sovereignty.
Guess the Kurds didn’t kiss enough butt back then to get their own country.
