 ===Why is it you are interested in machine translation?===

@@ Line 12: / Line 12: @@
 Rule-based machine translation facilitates the automatic translation of languages that suffer from scarcity of resources, and so makes it possible to work with interesting languages from Kalmyk to Zazaki. The open sourced nature of Apertium and the energy and communication of the community are also particularly appealing to me.
-== Proposal ==
+== Proposal: Kurmanji-English MT ==
+There are around 20 million people descended from Kurmanji-speaking families in the world. This proposal will facilitate the integration of this language into the international community, through aiding translation of news and information. It will also be helpful in the teaching of the language, which had been hindered for various reasons until recently.
+Why should Google and Apertium sponsor this proposal?
