Here is some basic information about the language for those who do not know anything about it yet:
Adyghe or West Circassian is a language (or dialect) in the Circassian branch of the Northwest Caucasian languages. It is spoken by more than 100.000 people in the Russian Federation, mainly in the Republic of Adygea in the Caucasus, and by tens of thousands of people in Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and other countries.

Linguistically, Adyghe is well known for its exotic and very complex phonetic system: The literary dialect has 55 consonant phonemes (basic sounds), other dialects have up to 60 phonemes. The multitude of consonants in Adyghe results from the opposition between voiced, voiceless and glottalic (ejective) and between labialized and non-labialized manners of articulation.

Adyghe is closely related to East Circassian, also known as Kabardian. The West and East Circassians call themselves the adyg (адыг). Because Adyghe and in Kabardian share most sounds, with Adyghe having even more, this guide will be useful for learners of Kabardian as well!
