A review on the terminology of traditional Chuvash religion

The Chuvash people living in the Middle Idil / Volga region have always been the center of attention of researchers, both in terms of the geography they live in and the religion they belong to. In addition, the fact that they are the only representatives of the Old West Turkish (l / r language) today and that they are in much cultural and linguistic interaction made the Chuvashes a more special community.

The study aims to identify the terminology of the traditional Chuvash religion in the sourcebook, to classify and list the words, to describe the meanings of words in dictionaries, their etymologies, diachronic and synchronic appearances in other Turkish dialects and different languages, and systematize the collected data and create new integrities. The study consists of Introduction, Examination of Words of Traditional Chuvash Religion, List of Words Belonging to Traditional Chuvash Religion, and Conclusion. Key Words: Traditional Chuvash Religion, Chuvash Language, Traditional Religion, Religious Beliefs, Chuvash Folk Beliefs.
