The study was conducted within these public high schools, involving a total of 40 students spanning grades 10 through 12.

It aims at exploring the use of the displaced people’s ethnic language in different occasions in daily activities and the ways it determines the language maintenance and, consequently, favors the displaced peoples’ culture and traditions. It is shown that family, religion, media, emotional and psychological sphere of a human’s life are the domains which can be considered the most effective ones, as ethnic language keeps its dominance there. The novelty of the research is clear due to the vast research interest to such a high migrated region with a changing political situation as Kurdistan. The conducted sociolinguistic analysis of the language situation in this region is the first among its linguistic studies and serves a basis for further research work

Показано, что язык для курдовэто, прежде всего, средство сохранения национальной идентичности народа, который много выстрадал, защищая свой родной язык от вымирания на протяжении последнего столетия. Для большинства других национальных общностей язык выступает неотъемлемым компонентом нациестроительства. Показано, что курдский язык по-прежнему запрещен в Турции, имеет перспективы на развитие в Иране и уже признан официальным языком в курдских регионах Ирака и Сирии. Новизна исследования заключается в изучении ситуации, сложившейся вокруг курдского языка, не просто в одной из частей Курдистана, а в четырех разных странах.
