Abstract :The novel, which can be called the last literary genre, is even difficult to define since it includes all literary genres. The novel is considered a turning point in the history of literature and seems to have deconstructed almost all genres. Some critics have claimed that even the history of literature was written by the novel. If we exclude the first written works we can claim that Zazaki has a literary history of about forty years. Zazaki authors, who began writing in magazine circles and delivering modern products in the 1980s, have also turned to novels since the 1990s. The first Zazaki novel was written in 1995. By 2022, more than twenty Zazaki novels have been published. As a synthesis of all genres, the novel reflects in detail all kinds of elements that can be represented in the literary universe. This study is based on ten Zazaki novels, and it discusses handling of language, language problems and belonging
