Sherwan Hussein Hamad
Human beings have continuously shown interest in the diversity and wide range of languages. However, this linguisticphenomenon has never been explained properly by humans. Hence, in every intellectual development that the humanshave gone through, a question concerning the variety of languages has caught human’s attention and seek to get an answerfor it. From the early stages of cognitive development, religious and mythological practices, as some of the earliest periodsof human cognitive development, have historically addressed a wide range of existential and philosophical questions.Among these is the origin of linguistic diversity, which pointed as a subject that has caught in the human’s interest.Therefore, for instance the analysis of sacred texts and mythological narratives show that many traditions have offeredexplanations for this phenomenon of linguistic. According to our findings, we can understand the fact that theseexplanations which appear in foundational religious writing books points out how important this question was even for theearly stages of human beings. Moreover, this research attempts to study how linguistic diversity is shown in religious andmythological texts. We have analyzed the examples we have collected so far, as well as the origins of these religious andmythological texts we have collected are identified. The research methodology uses a descriptive-analytical, and theresearch materials consist of religious and mythological texts that discuss the phenomenon of this linguistic diversity. Theresearch is divided into two parts, the first part lays out the theoretical, and introducing the key concepts of the study,including linguistic diversity, its reasons, and interpretations of linguistic diversity from religious, mythological,philosophical, and scientific viewpoints. It then discusses mythology, types of mythology, and the importance of mythologyas a source for answering human questions.

Sairan Hassan Qadir, Qadir Muhammed Muhammed
A great number of the historians to some extent, investigate the history according to philosophical theories, particularly the significant theories of philosophy of history. Kemal Mazhar is not exempted; as a Kurdish historian, has seriously tried to analyze Kurdish history under the influence of those philosophical theories. Therefore, this research attempts to answer these related questions: First; is he investigated the Kurdish history under the influence of philosophical principles ? Has he clearly applied any specific theory in his analysis of the Kurdish history? This research tries to investigate the impact of several theories on Kemal's researches. As Kemal Mazhar was one these Kurdish scholars who studied in the former USSR it is clear that his analysis of the history, was based on the Marxist theory. It is apparent that religion has great influence on the Kurdish society, and most of them are Muslim, therefore when he investigated Kurdish history he praised Islam, in directing Kurdish society. Especially in preparing elites and the Kurdish leaders. Besides that, he really believes the impact of geography on Kurdistan and its political issues. since it has a specific nature and climate. For example, Kurdistan hasn’t direct access to the sea. This has influence on Kemal Mazhar's belief about the geopolitical’s role on Kurdish political situation. Finally, the theory of heroism could be considered as a significant theory, however, from his perspective hero has not a great role in the history, for that reason this theory is not significant I in his researches.
