Sanandaj About this soundpronunciation (help·info) (Kurdish: سنە‎ Sine; Persian: سنندج‎) is the capital of Kurdistan Province in Iran. With a population of 414,069,[2] Sanandaj is the twenty third largest city in Iran and the second largest Kurdish city. Sanandaj's founding is fairly recent, (about 200 years ago), yet under its short existence it has grown to become a center of Kurdish culture.[3][4]


The spoken language in the city is Kurdish, but the language which is used in schools and offices is Persian, as the official language in Iran in which almost everyone in the city is fluent.

Etymology


The city of Sanandaj was originally called Saneh, and because it was located near an important castle it was later called Sanehdaj, meaning castle at the foot of a mountain. This presumably turned into Sanandaj over time.[5]



People


The population of Sanandaj is mainly Kurdish. The city also had an Armenian minority who gradually emigrated from the city. Until the Iranian Revolution (1979), the city had a small Aramaic-speaking Jewish community of about 4,000 people.[3] The city boasted a sizable Assyrian community that spoke a unique dialect of Aramaic called Senaya.
The economy of Sanandaj is based upon the production of carpets, processed hides and skins, milled rice, refined sugar, woodworking, cotton weaving, metalware and cutlery.[6][7]


Most of the people of Sanandaj follow the Shafi branch Sunni Islam.[8]


The Ardalani dialect of Kurdish is spoken in Sanandaj and its surroundings. Ardalani dialect is distinct to Kurdistan province and is spoken in Sanandaj and other cities of Kurdistan province. The other important dialect of Sorani Kurdish is Mokriani which is spoken in Mokrian region West Azerbaijan province.



During the Iranian revolution, PDKI and Komalah took control over the city under a brief period of time.[9]
