Dialect studies consist of different stages, such as text compilation, transcribing examination, classification the texts compiled, and finally preparation of a dictionary and an index. The first and the most important stage of a dialect study is compilation that is the basis for any dialectological work. In dialect studies, if compilation is conducted correctly, the following steps, i.e. deciphering, examination, classification, preparing of a dictionary or an index, will also be done correctly. Thus, for one who researches a dialect, it is very important to know what to compile and in which manner. Some preparations are an imperative before compilation. A good compiler must determine a purpose, and what to compile before conducting research in a dialect zone. At this stage, determining of the topics of the compilation and formulating questions for informants are essential. A reliable compilation cannot be made without setting a purpose, learning compilation methods, or preparing a subject and questions. There are no specific compilation topic or topics in dialect studies, but it is extremely useful that a dialect researcher possesses subject and question examples in his/her disposal. In this way, duplication of the same questions is avoided during the compilation stage, and in case of forgetting what to ask, the researcher makes use of those sample questions prepared in advance. Although there have been many studies dealing with problems concerning dialect subjects, compilation techniques, method problems, lexicon and index sections in dialect studies, there have not been yet any study about compilation topics and questions to be asked to those participating. This article will examine the compilation topics in dialect surveys, and give some examples of the questions.
