Texts about folk beliefs belonging to Old Uyghur Turkish (input-text-revi̇ew-index)

Among the historical Turkish dialects, the second phase of Turkish, after Köktürk, from which we have texts, is the Old Uyghur Turkish period. It is possible to find examples of this literature between 9th and 13th centuries. We inherited many written products from the Uyghurs. This study consists of folklore texts containing folk beliefs and pratices of Old Uyghur Turkish. These are texts about lucky and unlucky times, nail cutting and hair washing days, sneezing, mouse bites, lightning strikes, dreams, healing, vein interpretations and twitches, respectively. These texts contain the trans-material attitudes of Turks in social life. In the study, it was tried to reveal whether the folk beliefs and practices of the Uyghurs continued in later periods. This statement is significant for the continuity of Turkish cultural history. The study consists of input, text, rewiew and index sections.
