An Anadolu Agency field report from the Bekaa Valley documented how older residents in and around Duris transmit Turkish folk songs and short verses within their families. Interviewees said they had learned the repertoire from parents and village gatherings.
Turkologist Özgür Kasım Aydemir told the outlet that Lebanon does not have one homogeneous Turkmen dialect: some Bekaa speech shows Kipchak features, while Akkar and Tripoli varieties show Oghuz features. Population statements in the report are estimates, not an official census.
