Description:Suleyman tells us that the Children of a Mulsim died at the age of 1 or 2. He asked a Christian why this happened. The Christian asked him whether he was using the lands of the local Church, and the Muslim said, yes! The Christian asked him whether he returns any of the fruits to the church. The Muslim said, no! The Christian adviced that the he should sell half of the fruits and buy candles and light them in the church, and his children will no longer die. The Muslim took the advice of the Christian and his children no longer die.
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.
