Description:Bosus tells us that the dead used to be burried on the same day, if not within a few hours. This custom has changed not since about eigthy percent of the villagers live abroad and the funeral is thus delayed to allow them to attend the funeral. The corpses are kept in a fridge in Midyat until the day of the funeral. Nowadays, they set up big tents in the village to accomnodate visitor during a seven days period. Food is no longer provided to visitors but only dring and pastry.
The Beth Qustan dialect of the Central Neo-Aramaic, Turoyo, which is the language of Tur 'Abdin, South Eastern Turkey, with an estimated 20 families remaining in the village.This project will document socio-cultural practices of the Turoyo speaking community in Tur 'Abdin, focusing on vernacular tales, particularly those that demonstrate cultural interaction between Muslims and Christians, including Muslim visitations to the shrines of Christian saints, and consultation of soothsayers by Christians.

Bosus was born in the village of Beth Qustan in 1992 and moved to Salzburg, Austria, in 2015 to complete his MA in Syriac Theology in 2015.
