🇺🇦🇦🇹 Telegram a little differently than my usual: About the Telegram groups themselves, the language and technology resources we all use, and our new unwelcome "member" - ChatGPT. This is the most personal academic thing I've ever written. ♥️

The Amargi@theamargi.bsky.social · 7mo ago

Bachtyar Ali, a prominent Kurdish intellectual and The Amargi columnist, explains why Rojava is being targeted from all sides and why it matters as an anti-fascist political project.

A highly progressive language policy is already in place in Kurdish-led Autonomous Region using Kurdish, Arabic, Armenian, Assyrian and Turkoman official languages and as medium of bilingual education. Sharaa's symbolic decree is not a step forward, but another move toward old style nationalism.

Ahmed al-Sharaa issues decree declaring Kurdish a national language that can be taught in schools in areas where Kurds are heavily present. Decree also restores nationality to Kurds as 20% of them had been stripped of it in 1962, and makes Nowruz an official holiday. www.newarab.com/news/syrian-...
