This study aimed to investigate the speech act of condolence in Ilami Kurdish. A researcher-made DCT was distributed among 130 respondents across Ilam and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS. The findings revealed employment of 13 strategies in fulfillment of condolence speech act by respondents, the most frequent of which were “Religious expressions”, “Seeking absolution from God”, and “Praying for the deceased”. The results also made it clear that this dialect maintains a highly formulaic and routine structure for the given speech act so that except for the level of education, other individual differences like age, gender, and occupation of the respondents did not seem to play an important role in the selection of the strategies. Yet, the quality of condolence words in Kurdish was found to be more directed to and more influenced by the personal characteristics of the deceased person than the bereaved.
