Russian is also a common lingua franca in the whole area except Turkey.WRITING & TRANSCRIPTIONUntil 2002, 20 Caucasian languages were currently written and 2 languages were written once in the past. Ofthose:¨ 2 languages are «old-written»: Georgian (since 5 c.) and Agvan (5-8 cc.). Both use(d) original scriptsdeveloped especially for these languages.1213Plus symbol (+) means that official are national language (Russian or Georgian) and (plus) language(s) indicated.Up to 1992 it was a single republic – Checheno-Ingushetia.6Atlas of the Caucasian languagesO VERVIEW¨ 11 languages are so-called «young-written» – they are regularly written since the late 19th – early 20th cc. andmany of them (at least 7) were sporadically written in Arabic script from the late Middle Ages.
During 20th c. allof them developed its own formal standard (or literary form) which are used in school-teaching and in writing.¨ 4 languages are so-called «new-written» – writing for them was introduced only in 1990s. 3 of them (exc.Agul) were written in 1920-30s but later writing was abandoned and only now they have become more or lessregularly written.Table 2.

The first one shows cognates’ percentage and the second one shows yearsof separation calculated from cognates’ percentage by the Starostin’s formula. Precise figures for each node (inpercents) can be found in the Guide.The chart includes all Caucasian languages which are terminal points in it. Time of separation into dialects isshown only in those cases when appropriate data are available (e.g. Avar, Khvarshi, Svan, N. Dargwa).For written languages all the period of writing tradition is shown with rectangles (e.g.
Georgian and Agvan).Period of spoken ancient languages which is not fixed by written records is shown with dashed rectangles (e.g.Agvan). Reconstructed protolanguages are shown with dashed rectangles with rounded corners. Names ofgroups or protolanguages are given in italics and names of languages and dialects are not in italics.10Atlas of the Caucasian languagesGuide: NORTH CAUCASIANTHE GUIDE1 NORTH CAUCASIANfamily [24]; северокавказская, севернокавказскаяLanguages of this family are spoken in and around the Caucasus mountains, aswell in wider diaspora in the Middle East.
It comprises 44 living, 1 extinct and 1 oldliterary languages.Earlier NC. was meant to form "Ibero-Caucasian" unity along with Kartvelian butnow it's established that NC. is independent family possibly comprising part of SinoCaucasian macrofamily.The fact that these languages are related was noticed long ago but only recentlyits genetic relationship seemed to be proven [Nikolaev & Starostin 1994] though twocomponent groups of the family are still viewed by many linguists as twoindependent unities.1A1A-AADYGHE-ABKHAZ group [53-55]northwest caucasian, abkhazo-adyghian; westcaucasian; абхазо-адыгская, абхазскоадыгская, западнокавказскаяCIRCASSIAN-UBYKHadyghe-ubykhgroup [62],1A-1 CIRCASSIAN [93], wider adyghe; widercherkes; (Fre) tcherkesse; (Ger) tscherkessisch;адыгский, черкесский-Ш; (Grg) čerkezuli;(Arab) šarkassi; (Tur) çerkesçe; @ адыгэ,адыгабзэ, adɨɣəbzə1A-1a West Circassian, adyghe, lower circassian,adyge, adige, adyghean, west adyghe,adyghey, adigey, adyghei, adyghian, kiakh,kjax, kyacḫ , west cherkes; адыгейский,кяхский, нижнеадыг(ей)ский,западночеркесский; (Kabardian) абазэх,абзэх; @ č'ax, кIахэ-бзэ, k’ah1aal i t e r a r y a d yg he @ адыгэ литературабзэ1abs ha p s u g , shapsugh, šapsug, shapsogh,chapsough; шапсугский, шепсугский; (Tur)şapsıǧ; @ шапсыгъ, šapsɨǧComprises two groups: Circassian-Ubykh and Abkhaz-Abaza with Ubykh being inmany features transitional between Circassian and Abkhaz-Abaza.Includes two languages: Circassian and Ubykh.Total: ~705k (L1), 62k (L2), 1,350k (EG).
