DEAR MS Asfour Go to www.dictionary.com
you will find that folk is an adjective and you will find the example folk music and one more thing, do not depend on google or yahoo search engines to get your answer. I would like to apologize about correcting but science is science.
thank you

neutral  Zeinab Asfour: Adj of Folk is : شعبي and Noun of Folk is: فوليكلوري! Folklorice could be both شعبي and فولكلوري AS A RESULT, folk and folkloric have the same meaning!

disagree  Hassan Al-Haifi (wordforword): You can't just disagree with everyone to enhance your own suggestion. There should be a real fundamental linguistic reason for disagreeing with a suggestion and not just for the promotion of your own suggestion. In this regard I agree fully with Zeinab,
1 day 21 hrs
neutral  Nesrin: Did you even check if the word "folkloric" exists before disagreeing with everyone again? If you are a good researcher (which you obviously believe you are!) you can distinguish between VERY worthy and useless Google search results! بعض التواضع أرجوك
