Insight into Kabardian (/kəˈbɑːrdiən/)
What is the language called in English and the language itself? - In English, it’s called Kabardian or Adyghe. In the language itself, it’s called Къэбэрдей (Qəbərtay) or Адыгэбзэ (Adıgabzə). It may also be called Qabardejbza, Circassian, or Cherkessia. - The two main dialects of this language are Kabardian and Besleney. Linguists often refer to the Kabardian dialect as East Circassian and the Besleney dialect as West Circassian.  - The Kabardian language and the Adyghe language are very closely intertwined. Although the name in the language itself can be called either in Kabardian, there are significant phonological, typograpical, and cultural differences that should not be conflated. 
Where is the language spoken? - The language is mostly spoken in Russia in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, roughly where Russia touches Georgia. It’s also spoken in Turkey, Jordan, and Syria due to diaspora.
Tumblr media
How many people speak the language? - Kabardian has roughly 650,000 as of 2010 (Endangered Language Alliance).
Which language family does it belong to? What are some of its relative languages? - It’s classified as Northwest Caucasian > Circassian > Kabardian. It’s closest relative language is Adyghe.
What writing system does the language use?  - Kabardian is written in the cyrillic script.  - Sample text from Omniglot: ЦIыху псори щхьэхуиту, я щIыхьымрэ я хуэфащэхэмрэкIэ зэхуэдэу къалъхур. Акъылрэ зэхэщIыкI гъуазэрэ яIэщи, зыр зым зэкъуэш зэхащІэ яку дэлъу зэхущытын хуейхэщ. - How to identify the language: A characteristic to look for is dipthongs with “I” as the second character. Though it’s not an exact science, it’ll help you estimate in which group the language you’re looking at is. 
What kind of grammatical features does the language have? - Kabardian is an SOV langauge with ergative-absolutive alignment. It has no grammatical gender, 2 numbers, 3 persons, 5 voices (nominative, causative, factitive, and involuntative), and 4 cases (still under debate). It has definiteness, transitivity, reflexivity, and postpositions in place of prepositions, as well as a small number of particles and conjunctions. It’s also well known for it’s consonant clusters.
What does the language sound like?

What do you personally find interesting about the language? - Once again the dialect debate has me interested. However, I was also intrigued by the use of ergative-absolutive alignment; I haven’t seen that for a long time, and this was a nice refresher! Also, languages from the caucases always intrigue me for some reason.

Imagine being scared of a language.
Pathetic.
This happens all the time where I live regarding loyalists and the Irish language.
They’re TERRIFIED of the indigenous language of the country, they’ve convinced themselves that they’re indigenous and that the Irish language is apparently a satanic invention.
Neither of those are true but they’ll believe it anyway.
They’re so fragile that it’s comical.
Ashamed of nothing. Offended by everything.
I’ve seen it before in many other countries and with many other languages.
Basque, Armenian, Syriac, Adyghe, Kabardian, Hawaiian, Kurdish, etc.
It’s a language!
It’s harmless!

Hey. Sorry if I’m interrupting anything.
Got a question.
What are your thoughts on Scottish Gaelic. The language mean. Obviously.
As an Irishman I'd very much like to see it revived by any and all means necessary. I mean it's the closest linguistically to Irish what with both being Celtic languages.
Still.
I don't like people advocating to wipe out languages. It's colonial bullshit. May explain why Scottish Unionists start shrieking hysterically when they see it on road signs.
They're a deranged bunch.
I'm a supporter of reviving and saving any and all threatened languages. Like Scottish Gaelic.
Among others. Such as Irish, Welsh, Breton, Cornish, Manx, Basque, Advghe, Kabardian, Chuvash, Syriac (what the Assyrian people speak), Talvsh, Hawaiian, Navajo, Abaza, to name a few.

Hey! Can you please explain why it's wrong to use Caucasian to mean white? I tried to google it but all I found were explanations of how we started using it.
yeah, sure!
so the word "caucasian" comes from the caucasus, which is a mountainous region between the black and caspian seas bordering turkey and iran in the south. the territories situated in that region are: the countries of azerbaijan, georgia, armenia, and the territories which were colonized and are still occupied by russia to this day, which are adygea, dagestan, ingushetia, kabardino-balkaria, karachay-cherkessia, north ossetia - alania, and chechnya. the ethnic groups native to those regions are: azerbaijanis, georgians, armenians*, abkhazians, cherkess/circassians, avars, dargins/dargwa, kumyks, lezgins/leks, laks, nogais, rutuls, ingush, kabardians, balkars, karachays, ossetians/alans, and chechens.**
*azerbaijanis, georgians, and armenians have certain ethnic subgroups but i believe they have all historically been joint by their respective ethnic group for a long time and do not separate themselves from each other outside of having small differences in traditions - if someone knows differently, please do correct me
**sorry if i forgot someone and do let me know if i did
now, here are some examples of what people of some of those ethnic groups look like:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
chechen activist tumso abdurakhmanov, ossetian comedian ariana lolaeva, half-georgian singer valery meladze
just looking at these people, you can probably already take a guess at why it is at the very least silly to point at blonde becky born in ohio and call her caucasian. but there is also a reason why i took the time to list every single ethnic group that lives in the caucasus region (apart from trying to generally educate you) - i listed them because these groups are objectively the only ones, who can be called caucasians. moreover, not only are actual caucasians in a weird spot in terms of whether they can even be called white or not (as i said, it is a relatively small mountainous region that borders iran, and i believe no one would call iranians white), but even if you do consider them white, there is an enormous variety of other ethnic groups under the white label AND the majority of white americans' ancestors are NOT caucasians.
apart from the fact that using caucasian as a synonym to white is kind of nonsensical, it is also just unnecessary. there is no context in which the usage of the word caucasian provides any additional information - you can always replace it with the word white and the meaning would remain the same. (btw, as a linguist, this is actually a little hint from the language itself that something isn't right with the way you are using the word - no two words can be fully synonymous in a language, there is always some subtle difference in meaning, but with the way americans use caucasian and white - there is none).
finally, and to my mind most importantly, by using caucasian in the way that americans use it, you are stripping actual caucasians of the ability to talk about their identity in english, THE international language of the world. this is already offensive enough, but considering the colonization of the caucasus by the russian empire throughout the 19th century, the horrors and genocides performed by russians in the region, and the continuous oppression of caucasians in russia today, you are effectively silencing a whole bunch of ethnic groups on their past and the things their ancestors suffered, and helping russia erase that part of history from the general knowledge of the public by co-opting the word you don't need that is so central to the identities of these ethnic groups.

Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin by Rodrigo Schiavini 😎
Tumblr media
Mounted in a saddle, on the imposing back of a Kabardian horse, I went to meet President Vladimir Putin in order to mediate a peace agreement with Ukraine.
Amid the immortal Russian steppes, Putin showed off his muscular chest riding on his horse of the same grace and the same breed as mine.
Not to be at a disadvantage, I tore my shirt up and also displayed my chest so as to equalize the intimidation.
Then... Upon seeing my exposed chest... Putin smiled so much, so much... That... He fell off his horse from laughing so hard... He laughed so hard that urinated in his pants in the middle of the ineffable Russian prairies. 😎🐴
