Osmancık

It is said that in the 15th century a dervish living in Osmancık, instead of speaking, would only say “meee” like a sheep; and so the people named him Koyun Baba, “Father Sheep.” This dervish, who needed no words to explain himself, is remembered today as the town’s spiritual guardian… So how does the name of someone who spoke so little live on for centuries alongside a bridge?
