    There are five recognized languages in the Northwest Caucasian family: Abkhaz, Abaza, Kabardian or East Circassian, Adyghe or West Circassian, and Ubykh.
    Adyghe is one of the more widely spoken Northwest Caucasian languages. It has 500,000 speakers in Russia, where it is official in the Republic of Adygea, the Middle East, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Israel. There is even a small community in the United States. Four main dialects are recognised: Temirgoy, Abadzekh, Shapsugh and Bzhedugh, as well as many minor ones such as Hakuchi spoken by the last speakers of Ubykh in Turkey. Adyghe has many consonants: between 50 and 60 consonants in the various Adyghe dialects but it has only three phonemic vowels. Its consonants and consonant clusters are less complex than the Abkhaz-Abaza dialects.
    Abkhaz has 100,000 speakers in Abkhazia (a de facto independent republic, but a de jure autonomous entity within Georgia), where it is the official language, and an unknown number of speakers in Turkey. It has been a literary language from the beginning of the 20th century. Abkhaz and Abaza may be said to be dialects of the same language, but each preserves phonemes which the other has lost. Abkhaz is characterised by unusual consonant clusters and one of the world's smallest vowel inventories: It has only two distinctive vowels, an open vowel /a/ and a mid vowel /ə/. Next to palatalized or labialized consonants, /a/ is realized as [e] or [o], and /ə/ as [i] or [u]. There are three major dialects: Abzhuy and Bzyp in Abkhazia and Sadz in Turkey.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Circassians and Abkhaz or Abazas different nations. And our language isn’t same. So many Abkhaz call themselves in dispora Circassians. But it’s not true. Only Adyghe people are Circassians. Our language and cultures are different, but yes we are brothers like all other peoples in the world. Circassians are Circassians. Abkhazs are Abkhazs.
