I'm in the same situation as jeff_lindqvist: interested in Persian, but busy with other languages at the moment. Maybe, I'll get to it during the second half of 2014, but I can't (or won't) join the TAC with it right now.
Anyway, if a Persian team comes into being, I'll follow your logs with interest! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My main worry about Pashto is simply the paucity of materials. All grammars out there seem uncomfortably old or incomplete. Dictionaries are slim. Moreover, though there's surely a corpus out there, I'm not sure how accessible it would be to any of us.

I have read some grammar books on these three languages. It seems to me that Pashto is the most difficult language of these three languages. Because Pashto has a very difficult and complicated grammar, maybe more difficult than Russian Grammar.
The easiest one is Persian Language. It has a simple grammar. Kurdish is much easier than Pashto but more difficult than Persian. Edited by za20 on 07 December 2013 at 12:36pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I love Persian and I do something with it on most days, but there are a couple other languages I want to become proficient in before I really devote myself to Persian.

za20, thanks for the comparison! I know very little about Kurdish and Pashto (so far! ;)), just that resources are scarce and depending on what dialect of Kurdish you want to learn you might have a hard time to find anything...
lichtrausch, it's great to see someone else who is simultaneously interested in Persian, Korean and Mandarin! Off-topic on this thread, but how about joining the Korean team for TAC 2014? ;) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I'm pretty much a solo learner so I don't know if TAC is for me. But I'll look into it. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It is Kurmanji Dialect on which I have read some grammar books and Kurmanji Dialect uses Latin Alphabet. Edited by za20 on 07 December 2013 at 12:34pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Kurmanji is really interesting to me. I'd love to follow your log.
I am a total TAC fail, but I'd be game to give it a try again this year if there were an Iranian language family team. I study Persian (Farsi, but would like to study some Dari this year also.) 1 person has voted this message useful |
