In Arabic, Persian and Turkish literature, such tales belong to the genre called laṭīfa. There are currently more than 550 humorous and witty tales with Nasreddin Khodja as the protagonist. Turks generally consider him to have been a real person, and there is a mausoleum said to be his on the outskirts of Akşehir, Turkey.
