This thesis is a compilation and analysis study aiming to identify the local dialectal features of Döşemealtı district, located in Antalya province. Dialects can exhibit various linguistic differences among speakers of the same language, such as variations in pronunciation, form, and grammatical structures. To determine the linguistic specificities of dialects, a robust compilation and recorded analysis are essential. Numerous studies have been conducted on Turkish dialects from their origins to their current state, and research in this field is ongoing. In this context, our study involved conducting question-and-answer type symbolic interviews with individuals living in Döşemealtı district, which were then processed through text and word transcriptions. The collected data allowed for the exposition of the phonological characteristics of the region. Furthermore, the vocabulary exhibiting regional specificities within these texts has been categorized and presented in the lexicon section
