Kryz is spoken in a few villages in Azerbaijan, each of which has its own highly distinct dialect. The majority of the folklore texts documented here were narrated by Maclis Shamseddinov, and belong to the Alik dialect described by Authier (2009). The dialects of Haci Hetemli and the village of Kryz itself have been documented more recently by Monika Rind-Pawlowski, whose transcriptions are glossed here by G. Authier.
