Kurdification is a cultural change in which people, territory, or language gradually become Kurdish.[1] Historically, Kurdification has happened naturally, as in Turkish Kurdistan, or as a deliberate government policy (as in Iraqi Kurdistan after 2003 invasion of Iraq).[2][3]
The notion of Kurdification is different from country to country. In Turkish Kurdistan, many ethnic Armenians had Kurdified after converting to Islam,[4] while many ethnic Bulgarians,[5] Circassians,[6] Chechens,[7] Ingushs,[7] and Ossetians were Kurdified as a result of fleeing to the region and having subsequently assimilated to the Kurdish culture and language.
