One user has requested Kurdish Sorani (Kurdish Central) along with Kurdish Kurmanji (Kurdish Northern). https://community.brave.com/t/enabling-central-kurdish-to-web-translation/434941/

Lingvanex only has Kurdish Kurmanji and not Kurdish Sorani. Kurmanji uses Latin alphabet while Sorani uses Kurdish Alphabet. Google Translate has both Sorani and Kurmanji in its catalogue.

According to the user, Kurdish Sorani is the official language in some parts of the area https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorani
