The Abdal (Turkish: Abdallar or Teberler) are a Turkish-speaking with much Turkmen grammar socio-cultural Indo-Turkic people group found mainly in central and western Anatolia, and some live in Istanbul, who follow an itinerant lifestyle. This lifestyle is closely connected with the activity of music making at weddings and circumcision partys. Other occupations associated with the Abdal include tinning, basket making and sieve manufacture.
