Kurdish language has many dialects, one of them is "Sorani".
Sorani used in kurdish regoin in each of Iran, Iraq, and small part of
Syria. so we sugguest to have both of ku_iq, ku_ir at present if its
possible.

i will do that as soon as possible.

yes it's the same.

as Erdal said if its possible "Kurdish (Sorani)". to distenguish
between Sorani/Latin we sugguest "Kurdish (Sorani/Latin)".

I think we near us to our aim, thanks to your support.
