Why is it important?
It is not only a loss of a unique ancestral language, but also is a dividening force, tearing the shaky Iranian Kurdish community apart.
Perspectives
I am not sure if writing articles could be any helpful reversing the trend per se. It needs money and institutional work to save this beautiful rich language.
