Description:Hanno tells us about a villager who converted to Islam. He lef his Christian wife and left his children, and re-married two Muslim women, and had children with them. When he died, his Muslim children returned to the village to claim their inheritance. Their Christian brothers said that they would only get their inheritance if they converted to Christianity, since their father's inheritance was accumultated when their father was a Christian. He also tells us about another case when a villager converted to Islam, however, he later converted back to Christianity.
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.
