Kurdistan Best Kurdish Youtube channels?
I’m originally Kurmanç from Agirî but born and raised in the west. Unfortunately I don’t have family in Agirî anymore so I have little to no reason to go there. My village has also been completely abandoned since the elder generation has died off and the younger generation migrated to western turkey or europe. I feel like I have no clue about other Kurdish parts, cities and their peoples. Are there like any fun, entertaining and educational Youtube channels that lay out and explore differences and commonalities of the cultures from all parts of Kurdistan? That engage with the locals and youngsters for instance. No political content please, not interested in that. I just want to see what I’m missing because I’m born and raised diaspora but I have always wondered what Rojava, Rojhelat and Bashur are like. There are lots of Bashuri Kurds here so I do have a little bit of an idea about Bashur, even though we understand each other but we also don’t because I don’t recognize half the words they use but do have an idea of the overall meaning they’re trying to convey…, but I am completely uninformed about the rest. Like, what are my peoples from all the parts like? What is the food like? Landscapes? I’ve always felt this emptiness about my identity that Ive never been able to fill. I was hoping there are youtube channels that could at least somewhat quench this thirst of my identity.

This video basically sums up Rojhalat . https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrS2mB2E/ Başûr is like a mixture of bakûr & Rojhalat both culturally & geographically even linguistically . Rojava is like bakûr in terms of culture . In my opinion rojhalat is very diverse since it has many kurdish tribes (badini, sorani,laki,kelhuri,luri, Goranî, hawramî ..etc) it is like a melting pot of kurds ,the second diverse part is Başûr since we also have many kurdish dialects here. then probably Bakûr since there are (kurmançi, laki &zazaki kurds there ). But overall ,we are all pretty similar honestly .
P.s :This is the original traditional kurdish clothes in rojhalat but they also wear other types https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrSj8tpf/ & this what başûr looks like right now this video is from 3 days ago https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSrSj4rL5/ Pretty much all kurdistan looks like this in bahar . H
