Abstract:

Turks living within the borders of the Republic of North Macedonia continue their lives by preserving their linguistic, religious and cultural assets within various political structures for more than a century following the withdrawal of the Ottoman Empire from the region. Despite all the difficulties encountered in the process, various studies have been carried out on the oral cultural heritage of the Turks who have managed to keep their folk literature elements alive as much as possible. As a result of the compilation studies carried out on one of these oral culture products, the mânis, many mâni performed by the Turks living in the region were compiled and recorded. Despite this, with the support of TÜBİTAK, a field study was initiated to compile the oral culture products of Turks living in the region, with the idea that there may be uncollected folk culture products. Within the scope of this study, 10 unregistered mines were identified in Aşağı Banisa Village of Gostivar Municipality of the Republic of North Macedonia and Dorfullu Village of Cumalı (Lozovo) Municipality. Within the scope of the article, these 10 points determined will be published by thematic and formal analysis.
