Linguistic paradox at the centre, the identity-based context sets a supreme platform to delineate the sociolinguistic influences that larger society has on Kurdish Alevis groups that are seen as a minority in Turkey. In particular, collective and personal identity formation throughout the core ethnographic principles are conceptualised in terms of collective memories in narrative psychology, traumas that the severe degree of assimilation caused, socialisation of emotion, along with the piquet in identity definition amongst Kurdish Alevis. Hereby, this paper raises inquisitions how and why the identity component of Kurdish Alevis are deformed. Not only does this research emphasize the significance of language whilst establishing a self or communal identity but also demonstrates that respecting minority rights without violation of ethical roots would be the only solution to build harmonious societies. Upon examining a portfolio of traumatised memories within the Kurdish Alevis living in the Great Britain, the findings reveal that usurping fundamental components of identity belongings and values suppresses the essence of identity in Kurdish Alevi community and unconsciously replace it with devastated collective emotions or anomalous behaviours.
