My childhood friend is from Adyghe family we are both Syrian but I'm Arab, in Arabic language the people of Adyghe origin called "Sharakes(as a tribe)" or "Sharkas/Sharkasi(singular)"
FYI Turkish government already get some ways to preserve Ubykh speakers. Ubykh speakers are still there until the last Ubykh speaker passed away in 1960. Long after Circassian Genocide in 1869 by Russians under Tsar Nicholas I. Estimated 800,000 until 1,400,000 millions Circassians deaths caused by wars, mass execution, migrations, kidnap, starvation (food supplies were being raided by oprchiniks and cossacks), or diseases.
9:36 "Nasreddin Hodja and a friend were discussing their wives, when it occurred to the friend that Nasreddin had never mentioned his wife's name. "What is your wife's name?" he asked. "I do not know her name", admitted the Hodja. "What?" asked the friend in disbelief. "How long have you been married?" "Twenty years", answered the Hodja, then added, "At first I did not think that the marriage would last, so I did not take the effort to learn my bride's name."
Our languages are not related but I hope all of paleocaucasian languages will saved after we lost Dval (18th century) and Ubykh (20th century) languages
Sometimes I hear Mongolian then Turkic then something else. Amazing all so packed in to a small area but three groups unrelated. Wonder about their DNA connection. Andy always in awe of how you get these voices, transliteration of the language as well. Bloody brilliant 👏👏👏
Kinda off topic but I hate English speakers (or maybe just Americans) mix up terms Caucasian and Caucasoid. If you wanna put "white folks", "middle eastern" or "Indian" etc in another way then you should use Caucasoid. Caucasians are people from Caucasus not White folks in general.
no you shouldnt use the term caucasoid at all as its based on a WRONG AND RACIST THEORY !!! call white people white call europeans european BUT DONT CALL ANYONE WHO IS NOT FROM THE CAUCASUS CAUCASIAN OR CAUCASOID
it doesnt this term was stolen from real caucasians by a german pseudoscientist called friedrich blumenbach and he made a terrible wrong racist tace theory saying all europeans came from the caucasus bc he thought that the skulls of caucasian women are the most beautiful and many more horrible and wrong things. this is simply the languages limited to the caucasus aka they have no connection to any onther languages outside the caucasus. there are more caucasian people that do tho like armenians and ossetians who belong to the indoeuropean family (like most of europe thats why theyre not mentioned here) or azeris (who belong to the turkic family) and some mongolic people to. ALSO AFRO-CAUCASIANS EXIST TOO
Armenian should be in that group too..it is somewhat between caucasian and indoeuropean Sometimes to indoeuropean for caucasians and to caucasian in comparison to indoeuropean languages..maybe because of urartians in armenian ethnoghese

As a language family Azerbaijani is Turkic not Caucasian. But azerbaijani is the most spoken language in the Caucasus in terms of the number of speakers.
Absolutely not. Caucasian just means anything to do with the caucuses region and that's all it will ever mean. White americans and Europeans are 0% caucasian. Only caucuses people are caucasian.
they are LANGUAGES OF THE CAUCASUS but NOT CAUCASIAN LANGUAGES. the difference is caucasian languages are only limited to the caucasus there are no languages outsind the caucasus that belong to the same family as any of them. languages of the caucasus are not limited to the caucasus like armenian it belongs to the indoeuropean family and therefor is connected to languages outside the caucasus
Rest in peace Ubykh you were too great for the world.
What did he do?
@@Релёкс84 Extinct. After resettling from Russia to Turkey, the Ubykhs were asymilized by the Turks.
I agree. There should be a revival for this beautiful language.
@@wairor7490 This can happened if Caucasian regions was incorporate in Turkey, now all they are extint.

I am circassian from Jordan we are a lot in Jordan
Greetings from Lak (our homeland is Dagestan). How are you in Jordan ?
I just can't stop exploring the languages of the religion since they're so interesting, especially Circassian languages
Я как Кавказец. всех уважаю и люблю. берегите себя братья и сёстры.
I am proud to have circassian ancestry very cool languages and the most difficult
Oooh! Caucasian languages! My favorite language family! Thanks for doing my video request! 😄😄😄😄😄😄
One of My favourite regions on earth. Circassian being my favourite sounding language on earth. Georgian comes close as well.

The Laz language is pretty good

The Georgian are honorable people! Greetings to them all!
My childhood friend is from Adyghe family we are both Syrian but I'm Arab, in Arabic language the people of Adyghe origin called "Sharakes(as a tribe)" or "Sharkas/Sharkasi(singular)"
Kabardian sounds like a royal language. Almost polished. I would love to speak it.
hi Andy can u do a comparison between Georgian, Laz, Svan and Mingrelian since they are in the same language family?
I need volunteers.
@@ilovelanguages0124 Here I am, Georgian and Megrelian (not mingrelian) languages speaker
The Ubykh language is very similar to the Shapsug dialect of the Adyghe language and the Abkhaz language
Thank you for Laz Language ❤️
In Lezgi language the reader pronounced "Dog" word "kich'i", but there is another way of pronouncing it - "kits'i".
The Northwest Caucasian languages remind me somewhat of Welsh.
To me too
Avar reading sounded awesome, where can I find more like this?

As a half Laz I liked this video
more about Avar
Is Kartvelian Caucasian? (not as a region, as a language family)
There is no established 'caucasian family', but georgian is however basically southern caucasian
Kinda off topic but I hate English speakers (or maybe just Americans) mix up terms Caucasian and Caucasoid. If you wanna put "white folks", "middle eastern" or "Indian" etc in another way then you should use Caucasoid. Caucasians are people from Caucasus not White folks in general.

Avar is so weird 😂

Georgian is Kartvelian, not Caucasian.
Caucasian Klingon languages 😅
This video is nice but i wish it showed Laz in the georgian script too, also megrel and svan
All this time, I've thought that Caucasian means white 💀
it doesnt this term was stolen from real caucasians by a german pseudoscientist called friedrich blumenbach and he made a terrible wrong racist tace theory saying all europeans came from the caucasus bc he thought that the skulls of caucasian women are the most beautiful and many more horrible and wrong things. this is simply the languages limited to the caucasus aka they have no connection to any onther languages outside the caucasus. there are more caucasian people that do tho like armenians and ossetians who belong to the indoeuropean family (like most of europe thats why theyre not mentioned here) or azeris (who belong to the turkic family) and some mongolic people to.

Armenian should be in that group too..it is somewhat between caucasian and indoeuropean Sometimes to indoeuropean for caucasians and to caucasian in comparison to indoeuropean languages..maybe because of urartians in armenian ethnoghese
Armenian???
Under Indo-European
Armenian is Indo-european
armenain is a language OF the caucasus not a caucasian language as it belongs to the indoeuropean family that is not limited to the caucasus

Turkic
As a language family Azerbaijani is Turkic not Caucasian. But azerbaijani is the most spoken language in the Caucasus in terms of the number of speakers.
Lol, I thought when you say "Caucasian", I thought you meant European.
I think it should be called "caucasus" instead
No. The term belongs to people of the Caucasus who are called Caucasians.
Absolutely not. Caucasian just means anything to do with the caucuses region and that's all it will ever mean. White americans and Europeans are 0% caucasian. Only caucuses people are caucasian.
First
What about Armenian and Azeri? They're Caucasian too.
Armenian and Azeri are not caucasian languages. Armenian is an indo-european language whereas Azeri is a Turkic language.
@@1xyz6992 They're still geographically Caucasian, though the langauges families the'yre part of isn't limited to the Caucasus region like the others.
@@Релёкс84 yes, this video only uses languages from families limited to the Caucasus, not just any language spoken there.
@@Релёкс84 what you say is true but the title refers to the caucasian language family and not to the caucasian region.
they are LANGUAGES OF THE CAUCASUS but NOT CAUCASIAN LANGUAGES. the difference is caucasian languages are only limited to the caucasus there are no languages outsind the caucasus that belong to the same family as any of them. languages of the caucasus are not limited to the caucasus like armenian it belongs to the indoeuropean family and therefor is connected to languages outside the caucasus
