WIKITONGUES: Yenal speaking Circassian

Показать описание

This video was recorded by John Kazaklis in Amman, Jordan. Belonging to the Northwest Caucasian language family, the Circassian language group is comprised of the West Circassian language, Adyghe, and the East Circassian language, Kabardian. Adyghe is spoken by approximately 575,000 people and Kabardian is spoken by around 1.6 million people. Yenal is fluent in five Northwest Caucasian languages and dialects, all of which he uses in this video: Shapsug (a Black Sea coast dialect of Adyghe), Bzhedug (a Kuban River dialect of Adyghe), Abkhaz (a Northwest Caucasian language), Karbadian (homeland dialect), and Karbadian (diaspora dialect). There is a strong consensus among the linguistic community that Adyghe and Kabardian are typologically distinct languages; however, the local terms for these languages refer to them as dialects.

Fascinating sounding language: - 0:35-38, the most amazing sounding phrase, slowed down to 0.75 speed sounds like a scat-sung, 'compressed', backwards version of Portuguese from Portugal.

He doesn't speak Abkhaz. He speaks Abdzax dialect of Circassian language. Abkhaz is in the same language family of ours, but not a Circassian dialect. Shapsough, Bzhedugh, Kabardey, Chemguy, Hatuquay, Hakuch, Besleney, Natukhuay... These are dialects of Circassian language.

Here, many write "Sounds like Arabic", "sounds like Russian + Turkish", "sounds like Mongolian" - stop talking nonsense, our language is unique, and it is connected only with our Abkhaz brothers and very very remotely with other Caucasian languages, first of all with Nakho-Dagestan. We have some borrowings from other languages ​​​​- Arabic, Indo-European words, Turkish, but there are very few of them, and most words have their own synonym. Ask an Arab, Turk, Russian, whether this language is similar to them, the answer will be unequivocal that there is no connection. And there are similar sounds in many languages.

لهجة القبرداي خارج الخكوج ( الجولانية - مثلا ) هي القبرداي الأصلية التي حملها المهجرون معهم الى دول الأغتراب
ينهون كلامهم ب (س) ولا ينهوها ب (ش) ... ذهب : كواس ( لا ) كواش ....
و يختصرون ال ( ق ) الى ( أ ) في بعض زوايا اللغه .... وستنئم : وستنقم .... قسيتيجئم : قسيتجقم ...
أنا أتكلم لهجتين : القبرداي ( الجولانية ) و ال - أبجدؤغ

The Circassian language sounds a little bit like its fellow Kavkaz neighbor language Chechen, calm and beautiful.

He looks very sympathetic through his smile and he seems to be interested in arts when I see the background of him which looks like a museum of art. :)

Throwing this out there: If there are any Adyghe or Kabardian tutors out there, I am definitely trying to find you. I know of Optilingo, and a bunch of other sources both in Russian and English, but was just wondering if there are tutors out there for personal/academic use?

Hi. My mom is turkish and father is Bjedough. I thought I did not understand any circassian language but surprisingly I understand it little bit. First he speaks in shapsigh language because he is shapsigh. he starts with saying hello.. I think he lives in kfar kama/israel. then he passes to bjedough accent. If I understood correctly his mother is abzeh. he passes to other dialects forexample to kabardian.. I do not have enough knowledge to distinguish these dialects from each other. for me all of them are circassian.. we were heavily turkified in turkey. Actually, my aunt could teach me Circassian. but she didn't like to share what she knew. and she liked to use Circassian more for private conversations. whatever I do, she was always saying haynape.
