The Syrian government continues to reject the deployment of the Kurdish language, in principle, regardless of the means or the subject, while the deployment of foreign languages such as English or French is allowed, and even the introduction of printed books in the Kurdish language is banned.

Discrimination - Kurds
Members of the Kurdish minority, who comprise up
to 10 per cent of the population, continued to suffer
from identity-based discrimination, including
restrictions on the use of the Kurdish language and
culture. Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds remained
effectively stateless and so were denied equal access
to social and economic rights.
