Hello, I’m Virginia a fellow Windows user.
As we’re a user to user forum Microsoft will not see your comments/suggestions. I would recommend sending Microsoft feedback via the app - Windows key + F key or via the web:
Please add Kurdish Kurmanci (Latin) language pack and keyboard layout to Windows

Kurdish is one of the largest languages in the Middle East, and Kurmanji (Latin alphabet) is the most widely spoken dialect, used by tens of millions of people in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Europe, and beyond.
Currently, Windows only provides support for Central Kurdish (Sorani, Perso-Arabic script). However, there is no option for Kurmanci in Latin script, which creates serious difficulties for users:
- Millions of Kurmanci speakers cannot set their mother tongue as the display language in Windows.
- There is no official keyboard layout for Kurmanci Latin, forcing users to rely on third-party tools or unofficial solutions.
- This lack of support makes it harder for students, professionals, and institutions who want to use their language digitally and officially.
Adding Kurmanci (Latin) language pack and keyboard layout would not only improve accessibility but also show Microsoft’s commitment to diversity and language rights. For millions of Kurmanci speakers worldwide, this would remove a long-standing limitation and solve a real daily problem.
We kindly ask Microsoft to consider this request and include Kurdish Kurmanci (Latin) in the next Windows language updates.
