Kurdsán, Kurdsu (Elam)
According to the research of institute Elamirkan, which I lead since 1994, the Kurdish nation is the next of kin of the Elamite peoples “Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian, Aurámi/Haurámi (ancient Aramaian), Hati, Huti (Hittitian), Hurrian and other civilizations in Kurdish territory”. …..........
The name Elam appears also in Ahlam and Xatemti forms. According to Kurdish: Elam, Ahlam can mean demonstrative land-side, í.lá.m (my this side) and ah.lá.m (my another side). Xatemtí can means (completive, perfection, comprehensive, high developed).
Kurdsu lies in the Near - and Middle East
This is approx. the circumference of current regions, remained from ancient Elam, where nowadays Elamite populations live and we call it Kurdsu or Kurdsán.
The hidden Ancient Kurdish Identity “The Elamite” has reappeared!

Herbert H. Paper, 1955, The phonology and morphology of Royal Ach. Elamite, foreword:
Of all the languages of the ancient Near East recorded in cuneiform symbols, none has been neglected than the Elamite language.
Walther Hinz: The lost world of Elam, New York 1973; page11:
Any educated man today knows of Sumer and Babylon, and has heard of the Hittites and Assyrians, of the Medes and Persians. But Elam has remained almost unknown. And yet, among the peoples of the ancient Near East, the Elamites enjoyed an outstanding culture and a history spanning more than two thousand years.
François Vallat, 1980 (Suse et l’ Elam, p. 3):
In areas, in which the Akkadian would be the lingua franca, Elamite was the language of the royal inscriptions; Possibly borrowed words or designations have been handed down to later generations of rulers.
D. T. Potts, 1999, The Archaeology of Elam:
Archaeologists and historians have consciously or unconsciously regarded the brutal Assyrian campaigns against the Elamites in the seventh century BC as the final chapter in their troubled history, the rise of the Achaemenid Persians as a new dawn in Iranian antiquity which heralded the start of another era. ...
And because I can see no justification for terminating the story of the Elamites with the campaigns of Assyria and the emergence of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, the present study ranges into the Seleucid, Parthian, Sasanian and early Islamic periods, eras which have traditionally been considered ‘post-Elamite’. If some readers have difficulty in this attenuation of Elamite archaeology and history, they need not bother with the final chapters. But I hope that others will see, perhaps for the first time, that the story of Elam and the Elamites does not end with Assurbanipal or the coming of Cyrus the Great. … Elymais, as we have seen, is noting but the Graecized form of the more ancient name Elam, ... Like the Elamites of earlier centuries, the Elaymaeans were noted for their prowess in archery and had a reputation of being great warriors. There is more than a touch of the ‘barbarian’ in Greek and Latin ethnographic descriptions of the Elymaeans, even though agricultural pursuits are occasionally mentioned.
Matthew W. Stolper, The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the World’s Ancient Languages, ed. Roger Woodard, April 2004, p. 60-61(summarized)
Texts in Elamite come from southwestern en central western (modern) Iran and in eastern Turkey, near Van, at the Assyrian city of Ninevah, in northeastern Iraq at the Urartian fortress at modern Armavir Blur in Armenia, and at Old Kandahar in modern Afghanistan. . . .
The Persian rulers who made the Elamite Anshan into Persia proper continued to write inscriptions and administrative records in Elamite (e.g., Vallat 1993, 1998).
The by Stolper quoted regions are current Kurdish territories, exception the Old Kandahar.
The presence of the Kurdish populations nowadays in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and North East of Iran to border with Afghanistan, more well-known as the Kurds at Xorásán (in Iran) point to the fact that those Kurds are remained of the Elamite rulers in Old-Kndahar. That can explain also the presence of influences of the Elamite language, the Kurdish thus in Turkish and languages in neighboring regions.
