The Arabic Dialect of Tillo in the Region of Siirt

"The main source of the data analyzed in this study is a corpus consisting of
ca. 17 hours of tape-recorded material. Eight hours of this material were
recorded in situ. Collecting data in these regions is not an easy task. All
guests in the hotels are controlled by the authorities. Foreigners are interviewed
and asked about the purpose of their visit, since tourists are supposed
to travel ‘only’ in the western parts of the country and to the Mediterranean
coastal regions. The presence of the army is strikingly observable. Military
checkpoints are found on the roads leading from towns to surrounding villages.
Visitors to the villages have to account for their visit. In some cases
passports and cameras have to be left at the checkpoints."
