There is a song by Alişan called "Lewere" and its entirely in Turkish except for the title repeated throughout the song. The word "lewere" does not sound Turkish at all, nor does it sound Arabic (not that I speak either language to know for sure). To me, it sounds very Kurdish and given that the song mentions Bingol, Batman, Diyarbakir, and Van which all have considerable populations of Kurds/Zaza, I'm pretty sure that it is Kurmanji Kurdish. Can anyone firm that it is? Also what does the word actually mean?
Thanks! :)
