Zaza People - Ethnogenesis

Ethnogenesis

While almost all linguists agree that the Zazaki language is not a dialect of Kurmanji but rather an independent language just like Soranî or Gilaki, they also agree on the fact that the Zazaki and Kurmanji Kurds build an ethno-cultural unity. And Ludwig Paul also mentions that the ethno-cultural point is the decisive factor for the question of the ethnic identity of Zazaki speakers.
