Zangana (tribe)

Kurdish tribe

Zangana (Kurdish: Zengene/زەنگەنە) is a Kurdish tribe in Kermanshah province and some parts of Iraqi Kurdistan.^[1]^[2] They speak a distinct dialect. However, in recent years they have linguistically assimilated into the language practice of Sorani speakers in the area in which they live.^[3]

Settlements

The settlement patterns of the people have shifted since the late 1980s. The Saddam Hussein regime relocated them in the Al-Anfal Campaign of 1988; also, in the course of the refugee dislocations of 1991 the Zangana people relocated.^[3]
