Why Feyli Is Different From Standard Kurdish
Feyli is a distinct variety of Kurdish with its own vocabulary, pronunciation patterns, and cultural context. Students who grew up speaking Feyli at home experience a real linguistic gap when academic instruction arrives in the standard variety only. Kuliso delivers instruction in Feyli — meeting students where they are linguistically, so they can focus on learning the curriculum rather than decoding the language of instruction.
"A student who speaks Feyli at home hears Feyli in their tutoring sessions — not Kurdish that sounds like a textbook."
Where Feyli Speakers Go to School
Feyli speakers are found in Iraq, Iran. Diaspora communities bring this variety to schools worldwide — including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia — where students often find that academic instruction doesn't match the variety they speak at home.
Kuliso is already used by districts serving Feyli-speaking families. Teachers assign the curriculum; the AI delivers it in Feyli.
How Kuliso Adapts Lessons, Voice, and Assessment to Feyli
Kuliso doesn't just translate — it localizes. When a student's dialect is set to Feyli, the AI tutor adjusts:
- Vocabulary and idiom: Explanations use Feyli-specific words and expressions the student recognizes — not the formal register they'd find in a reference grammar
- Word problems: Math and science contexts use culturally familiar references — local currencies, regional geography, community-specific examples
- Pronunciation guidance: Phonics and reading instruction use Feyli phonology
- Assessment language: Students are assessed in Feyli — their performance reflects subject mastery, not language-matching ability
- Academic register bridging: For students building literacy in standard Kurdish, Kuliso explicitly bridges from Feyli to the academic variety — scaffolded, not abrupt
