"The Yazidis (also Yezidi, \u00CAzid\u00EE) (/j\u0259\u02C8zi\u02D0di\u02D0z/ y\u0259-ZEE-dees) are a Kurdish religious community whose syncretic but ancient religion Yazidism (a kind of Yazd\u00E2nism) is linked to Zoroastrianism and ancient Mesopotamian religions, however Yazidis form a distinct and independent religious community and have their own culture. They live primarily in the Nineveh Province of Iraq."@en . . .
