Spell checking for Kurdish language addresses the critical need for accurate text correction tools that understand the unique orthographic and morphological characteristics of Kurdish writing systems.

Research Objectives

This research aims to develop intelligent spell checking algorithms that can handle Kurdish script variations, morphological inflections, and dialectal differences.

Technical Challenges

  • Kurdish morphological complexity
  • Multiple script systems (Latin, Arabic)
  • Dialectal variations in spelling
  • Context-sensitive error correction

Methodology

The approach combines statistical language models with rule-based morphological analysis to provide accurate and context-aware spell correction suggestions.

Current Work

Azhin is developing the core algorithms for error detection and correction, focusing on creating comprehensive dictionaries and morphological analyzers for Kurdish.

Expected Impact

This tool will significantly improve Kurdish text quality in digital communications, educational materials, and publishing, supporting the preservation and development of Kurdish written culture.
