| Summary: | Language is seen as a dynamic component of social culture and is ever evolving. From a societal perspective, language has more purposes than just conveying information. Rather, language governs mind and articulates the conceptual frameworks that people develop via interactions with others and via relationships. Humans may learn and mimic sounds, words, and concepts from birth. Their language usage is influenced by social interactions. There is no language outside of human society as language is a social phenomenon. Humans exclusively utilize language in social interactions to communicate their wants, desires, and feelings to other people. Language allows us to comprehend a country's culture, way of life, and way of thinking. Nations speak different languages; for instance, Swedes speak Swedish, Poles speak Polish, Turks speak Turkish, English speak English, and so on. As a result, a nation's identity may be encapsulated in its language, in fact, some nationalist ideas view language as the primary pillar of a nation. Deportations, identity deprivation, genocide, and neglect are just a few of the methods used to try and eradicate a people like the Kurds in the Middle East, who have been governed by Turks, Persians, and Arabs for ages. The Kurdish language continues to be crucial to the national character. Within the borders of the Iraqi state, the sole national entity having political and constitutional validity is the Iraqi Kurdistan Region. It served as the cornerstone for the development of this country's language and culture as well as for maintaining national identity. However, a generation has grown up in the Kurdistan Region whose language is almost entirely replaced by other languages in the last 20 years because of social media's influence, the English language's dominance in this field, the opening of foreign language schools, and the international education system. consequently, the issue is not limited to communication, rather, Kurdish culture and national traits are nearly superseded by the supremacy of other languages. In this study, we want to demonstrate the magnitude of this impact.
