[edit] What is Kurdistan?
Kurdistan (literally meaning "the land of Kurds"; Ancient: Corduene, old: Koordistan, Curdistan, Kurdia, also Kurdish: Kurdewarî) is the name of a geographic and cultural region in the Middle East, inhabited predominantly by the Kurds. As a traditional ethnographic region, Kurdistan is generally held to include the contiguous regions in northern and northeastern Mesopotamia with large Kurdish populations. From a political standpoint, Iraqi Kurdistan is the only region which has gained an official recognition as a federal entity. The region was known by various cognates of the word Kurd during the ancient history of the Mesopotamia. The ancient Sumerians referred to it as Kur-a, Gutium, or Land of Karda, the Elamites as Kurdasu, the Akkadians as Kurtei, the Assyrians as Kurti, the Babylonians as Qardu, the Greeks as Carduchoi and the Romans as Corduene. more..

Kurdish Barnstar |
|
The existing barnstar associated with this project is the Kurdish Barnstar. It comes in two variations, both of which are displayed in this section. Both of these versions are available to be given out to members whose work regarding the project is found by other members to be particularly deserving of recognition. However, please award a user only one or the other barnstar at a time. The second variation of the barnstar can always be given out later, when and if that same user's contributions are found to deserve another barnstar.
