Abstract
In the northeastern region of Armenian Cilicia, the rocky province of Zeitoun, which throughout the Ottoman domination kept its internal autonomy, has been the study subject of both Armenian and foreign scholars, who have attempted to present the various aspects of the historic past and the political and civic life of this part of Armenian occupancy. Despite these scholarly efforts, however, the remotest past of Zeitoun, the origin of this name, and other related matters remain shrouded. To elucidate the past history of Zeitoun, a study of the Zeitoun dialect may be conductive to a resolution of some of the knotty problems. The past life of Zeitoun presents its own peculiar picture, quite different from that of other regions, so that it is doubtful whether the use of conventional formulas to explain life in Zeitoun will prove to be fruitful. In 1915, the Turks destroyed and exiled the inhabitants of Zeitoun along with the entire mass of Western Armenians.
