Ranging anywhere from 27 to 28 million people, the Kurds comprise one of the largest ethnic groups in the world without a separate country. For over a century, many Kurds have campaigned and fought for the right to self-determination in an autonomous homeland known as "Kurdistan". Nevertheless, the governments of countries with sizable Kurdish populations are actively opposed to the possibility of a Kurdish state, believing such a development would require them to give up parts of their own national territories.
Kurds are ethnically close to the their neighboring peoples; especially Syrians and Iraqis. Also linguistically, since speakeing an Indo-European language, are close to Iranian peoples.
They speak the mutually-intelligible dialects of the Kurdish language.
Modern Kurds are commonly identified with the ancient Kingdom of Corduene inhabited by the Carduchi
