In this paper, diachronic vowel raising process in Kurdish dialect of SonɢorKoljee has been analyzed in different contexts in the framework of Generative Phonology (Chomsky & Halle, 1968). Raising process of the low vowel /a/ to mid vowel [e]; mid vowels /e/ and /e:/ to high vowel [i] and mid vowel /o:/ to high vowel [u] has been investigated in sample offered words from Middle Iranian forms to new era in this Kurdish dialect based on diachronic review. The data of this research have been collected via two ways written historical sources and interview with some of native informants. The sample examined words in this research have been chosen from the Mardukh's dictionary (2013). The result of this research showed that diachronic vowel raising process from ancient period to new era in this dialect have taken place when low or mid vowels are adjacent to high alveo-palatals: /ʃ/، /ʒ/، /ʧ/، /ʤ/, velars: /ŋ/، /g/، /k/, and nasals: /m/, /n/ consonants.
