Kurdification is a neologism, coined after "Arabization"[citation needed], used to describe a cultural change[citation needed] in which something ethnically non-Kurdish is made to become Kurdish[citation needed], usually in polemic contexts of post-Saddam Iraq, in particular in relation to Assyrian Christians and Iraqi Turkmen[citation needed]. Kurds in the north have also tried to kurdify Shabaks, to gain more territory and claim the Shabaks as being Kurds.[citation needed]
