“Word” is defined as “word string that fully describes a thought; clack, talk, remark, conversation; a string of words used to describe a subject in writing or orally”. The word is the basic tool of communication and interaction between people. There is the lack of effective communication skills based on many negativities encountered in society. This is the most obvious fact that shows the importance of speaking. Proverbs are maxims that nations have acquired over the centuries and enable to transfer nations’ experiences, observations, customs and traditions to future generations. There is at least one proverb about the events and phenomena that may encountered in all areas of life. This shows that history repeats itself and experiences should carefully examine for eliminating current negativities. It is clear that Turkish tribes support each other with a common national heritage also with similar perceptions and ways of thinking. In this study, proverbs of Turkish tribes were combbed from books, encyclopedias and articles. Then, the proverbs said on the "word" was determined. During the research, many proverbs related to the subject were collected. However, considering the volume of the study, only the proverbs containing the"word" were included in the study. These proverbs, which are formed with “tongue” and “talk” were excluded from the examination, even if they had the same meaning. Study has been classified around the titles of “Proverbs about endearment, veridical word; Proverbs about sarcasm, lie words, bad words; Proverbs containing advice about the word" and "Proverbs that allow the definition of the word according to the people". It has been determined that proverbs are composed on the subject of "advice". In addition, it has been seen that "comparison" and "simile" methods are frequently used in the creation of proverbs.
