| | Language-planning for North Caucasian Languages in Turkey By George Hewitt |
| | On the whole, the indigenous Caucasian languages, which form either two or three distinct families (depending on whether or not one believes that North West Caucasian and Nakh-Daghestanian derive from a common ancestor) are spoken today over what are regarded as their ancestral territories (with some local expansion or reduction in certain cases). | | | I found this series of meetings with the last speaker of his language, who was so keen to help in any way anyone with an interest in exploring the knowledge that he knew would perish with him, a profoundly moving experience that has coloured my attitude to the study of Caucasian languages ever since. | | | As for the diaspora, it suddenly became necessary for ethnic N.W. Caucasians to become proficient in the local major language, which in most cases was either Turkish or Arabic, in addition to however many Caucasian languages they used in their home- and village-life. |

| | The Udi language is believed to be one of the languages of ancient Caucasian Albania. | | | The genetic relationship of the Caucasian languages to any languages outside the Caucasus is highly speculative and as yet unproven. | | | All the Caucasian languages have a series of stops of three types--voiced, voiceless aspirated, and glottalized (i.e., pronounced, respectively, with vibrating vocal cords; with vocal cords not vibrating but with an accompanying audible puff of breath; and with accompanying closure of the glottis [space between the vocal cords]). |

| | This grouping does not imply any claims of genetic relationship but rather emphasizes that these languages are relics of families much more ancient to the Soviet Far East than the Tungusic and Turkic, which expanded more recently into it from the south and west. | | | The Athapaskan family is a complex of languages and dialects, which consists of some 30 languages, 11 of which are found in Alaska. | | | It thus becomes a race against time to document these languages as fully as possible before they are lost, and their revival or survival as living languages in both Asia and America is a question for the coming century. |

| | 97% or more of the Chechen and Ingush claim these as their first languages, though most also speak Russian, generally quite fluently, and the generation that was of school age during the 1944-56 deportation is often Russian-dominant. | | | The entire ethnic group and its leadership was referred to as `bandits', `gangsters', etc., during the war, and Caucasians in general but especially Chechens were and are publicly stigmatized as associated with organized crime. | | | This is based on an article on the Chechen circulated in January 1995 when the recent war began. |

| | ABKHAZIA.ORG - The Abkhaz Language |
| | When the Young Written Languages of the USSR were forced to move to Cyrillic-based scripts in 1936-38, Abkhaz (along with South Ossetic) was compelled to accept a Georgian-based orthography, which lasted until the death of (Georgian) Stalin. | | | Following the expulsion of so many Abkhazians to the Ottoman Empire after Russia's conquest of the North Caucasus in 1864 and the forced immigration into Abkhazia of Slavs, Armenians and especially Mingrelians during the 1930s the Abkhazians are a 17% minority on their own territory. | | | Therefore, at a time when Russian was the predominant second language (Mingrelian a third for many Abkhazians) such provisions in this Programme only served to reinforce the suspicions about Kartvelian intentions towards Abkhaz language and culture that had been harboured since the middle years of the century. |
