The article covers both the original and expanded definitions of diglossia. The main point of discussion is the concept itself including its features and several examples paired with a relevant survey conducted to determine the existence of diglossia among Sorani Kurdish speakers in Erbil. The survey has investigated the occurrence of diglossia in terms of the use of high and low variety of Sorani Kurdish based on different social situations.
