The Lezgi Language
Hi! Could you correct the mistakes please?Lezgi is one of the northeastern Caucasian languages spoken by the Lezgins, who live in southern Dagestan (Russia) and northern Azerbaijan. The number of native speakers is about 800,000 people around the world. Having its roots in the ancient Caucasian Albania (4th c. BC - 8th c. AD), it has been spoken for many years in the Caucasus Mountains.
The Lezgi script has changed several times through the history. Today it's written in modified Cyrillic script using 45 characters. The language has 9 vowel sounds and more than 54 consonants ( it varies depending on dialect). There are 3 main dialects which are Kure, Kuba and Akhty.
Lezgi is a literary language and an official language of Dagestan. It is classified as "vulnerable" and in danger (of extinction) by UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages.
*******Very nicely written and very informative. I never knew about this language in that region.
