Kurds in Lebanon are people born in or residing in Lebanon who are of full or partial Kurdish origin. Estimates on the number of Kurds in Lebanon prior to 1985 were around 60,000.[3] Today, there are tens of thousands of Kurds in Lebanon, mainly in Beirut[4] and hundreds of thousands of Lebanese who are of Kurdish origin but assimiliated with the locals and consider Arabic to be their mother tongue.
