Description:Suleyman tells us about a story of a shepherd taking his break. He takes out a piece of bread to eat it, and when he raises his head his sees a beatiful doog. He breaks a piece of the bread to throw it to the dog and realises that there is a treasure among the ruins where the bread landed. When he approached the ruins to access the treasure, it all of a sudden closed itself. Suleyman explains that perhaps a sorcerer could access that cursed treasure.
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.
