  • If the language is not supported there is not much you can do. What is the definitive differences if compared to Kurdish ? – percusse May 12 '15 at 00:05

    The bidi package supports RTL typesetting more or less independent of language. It is used for Persian and Arabic and I assume will also be usable for Kurdish Sorani. Additionally, the xepersian package provides extensive support for Persian, and I suspect could be used for Kurdish Sorani too. These packages require compilation with XeLaTeX not pdfLaTeX. – Alan Munn May 12 '15 at 03:57
  • for a xetex solution, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/239609/latex-kurdish-kurdi-%D9%83%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%AF%DB%8C-sorani-problems – David Carlisle May 12 '15 at 11:51

If switching to xetex or luatex is an option, babel currently does support sorani. Example with luatex:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[bidi=basic, provide=*, sorani]{babel}
\babelfont{rm}{Amiri}


\begin{document}


کوردیی ناوەندی یان سۆرانی یەکێک لە زارە سەرەکییەکانی زمانی کوردییە
کە لە ڕۆژھەڵات و باشووری کوردستان قسەی پێ دەکرێت.


\end{document}

With pdftex you can resort, as suggested by @SirCornflakes, to arabtex.

Look at the arabtex package: it contains the necessary fonts and input conventions for Kurdish. arabtex works with standard LaTeX2e, no extended TeX engine is needed.
