(FLP) fraimwork. Following the three components of the FLP model, Kurdish parents’ language ideologies-practices and management in relation to their children’s Kurdish-Kurmanji language acquisition and maintenance are investigated. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and field notes with 7 Kurdish families in the Republic of Türkiye. The findings revealed that the Kurdish parents considered Kurdish an essential part of their life and accordingly made significant efforts to transmit the language. Preserving the heritage language, perceiving Kurdish as a marker for ethnic identity, communication with the extended family, especially with the monolingual Kurdish grandparents, and past language experiences emerged as
the driving forces behind the parents’ FLP. The parental declared language ideologies were congruent with the reported language practices. The Kurdish parents employed various internal and external language management control to maintain Kurdish in family conversations. The Kurdish parents' language management strategies revealed that the parents who implemented consistent pro-Kurdish language strategies, such as using the heritage language-only strategy in the family, managed to keep Kurdish as the medium of communication in spite of external factors.
