Le lingue curde (Kurdî, Kurdí, کوردؽ) non costituiscono un'unica entità linguistica standardizzata, si tratta invece di un continuum di varietà linguistiche strettamente legate tra loro, parlate in Asia occidentale. Generalmente la lingua curda viene distinta in tre sottogruppi: la varietà settentrionale (kurmancî), varietà centrale (sorani) varietà meridionale (pehlewani) e Laki, anche se non mancano suddivisioni differenti. Le lingue Zaza-Gorani sono altresì parlate da diversi milioni di curdi, tuttavia non sono linguisticamente appartenenti al continuum curdo. Al 2022, le varietà settentrionali e centrali insieme sono parlate da quasi 21 milioni di parlanti totali; Ethnologue indica 15,7 milioni per il curdo settentrionale e 5,3 milioni per il curdo centrale.
