Residential areas of the Central Anatolian Kurds

history

The first Kurdish tribe to arrive in Central Anatolia is the Modanlı tribe. They settled in Haymana in 1184 and spread not only to various places in Central Anatolia, but also to Constantinople and Rumelia : Aksaray , Kütahya , Rumeli, Çatalca , Koçhisar , Haymana, İpsala and Evreşe . The Modanlı tribe belonged to the Asiret Merdisi. The first Central Anatolian Kurdish village called Kürtler (Kurds) was founded in 1463 in Yabanâbâd (today Kızılcahamam - Çamlıdere , Ankara).

The first Kurdish exile to Central Anatolia was granted during the reign of Selim I (1512–1520), who, however, was responsible for the mass killing of at least 40,000 Alevi Turkmens in the course of the Battle of Tschaldiran .

Most of the Sunni Kurds in Central Anatolia was originally Alevi or jesidisch , but had to because of centuries of oppression by the Ottoman Empire put his faith and the then state religion of the Hanafi school of law of Sunnism transgressed. To this day, most of the Central Anatolian Kurds are Hanafites, while most of the rest of the Kurds are Shafiites . For example, the Reşvan and Canbeg tribes in Central Anatolia are predominantly Sunni and in the east the majority are followers of the Alevi doctrine.

Tribes

The largest tribes of the Central Anatolian Kurds are the Şeyhbizinî, who speak a kind of Central Kurdish dialect, the Reşî (or Reşvan) and the Canbegî, who speak two dialects of Kurmanji, as well as the Êrkecikî Kurds, who speak a Dimilî dialect.

language

Kurdish ( Kurmanji ) is generally one of their mother tongues , but Kurmanji speakers have difficulty understanding the language spoken in Haymana, where members of the Şeyhbizin (Şêxbizinî) tribe live. The new generation of Kurds no longer speaks Kurdish in some settlements.
