what is "adigha"?
"adigha", "circassian", "cherkess", these are all commonly used names that encompass an ethnic group originally from the geographic region of the northwest caucasus (otherwise known as "kavkaz").
they were genocided and displaced around 1864 after a 100-year war with the Russian Empire. the adigha peoples were mainly displaced around the ottoman empire (who eagerly anticipated them).
is this website about them?
yes and specifically about their language, "adighabze", or the adigha language.
the purpose of this website is to serve as a tool to learn the adigha language (as well as an archival website for the language).
this is all being run by sammy samkough, a circassian residing in the USA that is trying to learn himself the language.
what dialect will be taught?
it would be awesome to be able to provide the resources for all dialects.
the initial focus will be on learning kabardian though, and providing resources for that specific one.
