Kurdification is a neologism, coined after
"
Arabization" , used to describe a
cultural change in which something ethnically non-
Kurdish is made to become Kurdish , usually
in polemic contexts of
post-Saddam Iraq, in
particular in relation to
Assyrian
Christians and
Iraqi Turkmen
.Kurds in the north have also tried to kurdify
Shabaks, to gain more territory and claim the
Shabaks as being Kurds.
