Project Description:
This map depicts the Abkhaz-Adyghe Ethnic and Linguistic Groups in southwest Russia and Georgia as they were in the 1830's. The map is divided broadly into three groups - Adyghe, Ubykh, and Abkhaz Abaza and also includes layers depicting residential areas and pasture land. This map has been modified from it's original in the Atlas of the Caucasian languages, and historical cities in this region have also been added. Abkhaz-Abaza: Abkhaz, Sadskzo Divisions, the Ethnic groups named Ahibga, Art, Baga, Goch', Tsanda, and Tsvykdzhi are listed as text on the original map and are represented here as text labels representing an approximate geographical location; the same is the case for the Adyghe, Western Circassian Dividison in the Adyghe (dialect unspecified) regions for the following ethnic groups: Bzhedugh, Cherchenay,Khegaki, Natekuay, X'imisch. It should also be noted that the populated places on this map are the places indicated in the original map and do not represent an exhaustive list of populated places for this region.
