A corpus of spoken Kurdish collected during fieldwork in the Kurdish-speaking regions of Iran

The dataset consists of video-recorded interviews with adult native speakers of Kurdish from the Kurdish-speaking regions of Iran (Kurdistan and Kermanshah), collected during fieldwork in 2021. The fieldwork was exploratory in nature and did not follow predefined research questions or hypotheses. Its primary aim was to identify linguistically relevant and potentially interesting phenomena and to provide empirical orientation for future research projects. The data collection was conducted in cooperation with the Atlas of Kurdish Dialects. Interviews were guided by a predefined set of questions and carried out by local informants from the host community. All recordings were transcribed using ELAN.
