SA,

Ramadan Kareem,

I would like to inquire whether any large language models (LLMs) support the Kurdish language with reasonable quality, particularly in terms of understanding and text generation.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Amr El-Gendy

wa alaikum salam,

Ramadan Kareem.

Does Kurdish have a textual and/or audio corpus that is accessible online? 

Having access to quality corpora is a good first step to do testing.

Shukran,

Dear Mohamed and Rania,

Please allow me to share these additional resources for Kurdish and Central Kurdish with you. 

Datasets:

Ngrams, embedding models and others for both languages:

While not an LLM, you can interact with some of the models directly on the playground and generate Kurdish text with the "Text Weaver" function for example.

I am the maintainer of these resources, let me know if you find any mischaracterization of your language. Thank you,

Best,
