Folklore is the collection of stories, sayings, beliefs, and customs that a group of people share and pass along to each other—things like fairy tales, proverbs, jokes, traditional songs, and the ways they celebrate important events. It matters because it captures and preserves the distinctive culture, values, and identity of communities, from the tales they tell to the buildings they construct and the rituals they practice.

Article · Deutsch
Die Folklore (von englisch folk „Volk“, und lore „Überlieferung“ oder „Wissen“) ist der sichtbare Ausdruck des immateriellen kulturellen Erbes einer ethnischen oder religiösen Gemeinschaft. Sie umfasst althergebrachte Traditionen des Volkes (z. B. Materialkultur, Kulte, Riten, Bräuche, Sitten, Musik, Volkskunst, Literatur) und beruht auf generationsübergreifender Überlieferung, die in mündlicher, unter Umständen aber auch schon seit geraumer Zeit schriftlich oder bildlich fixierter Form vorliegen kann. Moderne kulturelle Erscheinungsformen, die ebenfalls Ausdruck einer kulturellen oder subkulturellen Gemeinschaft sein können, werden üblicherweise ebenso wenig zur Folklore gerechnet wie hochkulturelle Leistungen, die zwar ebenfalls landestypisch oder kulturspezifisch sein können, aber keinen volkstümlichen Charakter besitzen. Wissenschaftlich befasst sich mit Folklore die Disziplin der Folkloristik als Teilgebiet der allgemeinen Volkskunde und der Erzählforschung.
