Language is the identity of the nations and one of the most significant elements in its continuityand survival. For this reason, it is taken for the greatest interest by every nation that wants to runthe risks of its dying out. This interest takes various ways and methods that are targeted atkeeping language alive and active. Among these is the process of composing dictionaries thatembrace the basic unit of language i.e. words.The present study is an attempt at scrutinizing the English and Kurdish languages from the'dictionary aspect' of both languages through a comparative study. It shows how the English isserved in the best way through this process and how all the words in English are kept save fromthe danger of dissolution. It also shows that these attempts are responsible for the wide spread ofEnglish all over the world and they encourage the non-native speakers to learn it as easily aspossible.Against these attempts, the study shows that the Kurdish language is almost neglected and nogreat attention is paid to it. It reached the conclusion that the academic centers like theuniversities are mainly responsible for this negligence since they pay greater attention to thingsthat are of less importance.
