| Kurd Cluster – Profile |
- The Kurds have a history extending back many millenia, descending from many peoples, especially the Hurrians, Medes, and Scythians. There are four main languages spoken, but more than 45 ethnic subgroups.
- The overwhelming majority of Kurds would call themselves Muslim, but over a quarter of them still adhere to their original ancient beliefs or a more modern version of them. However, a number of Kurds in Turkey and Iraq have become evangelical Christians.
- Most Kurds are Sunni Muslim, but there are some Shi'a Muslims, living mainly in Iran.
- The Kurmanji (Northern Kurdish) language is increasingly being used as the common language of the Kurds.
