The Dargin languages consist of a dialect continuum of over 60[3] Northeast Caucasian languages or dialects spoken by the Dargin people in southcentral Dagestan. Kajtak, Kubachi, Itsari, Mehweb and Chirag are often considered dialects of the same Dargin/Dargwa language. Ethnologue lists these under a common Dargin language, but also states that these may be separate languages from Dargwa proper.[citation needed] Reasons for classifying the southern group of dialects from the northern group is that speakers of the southern dialects have been reported as treating the literary Akusha dialect as a foreign language.[4]
Classification
The Dargin languages are classified as follows by Koryakov 2021:[2]
Mutalov 2021 proposes a different classification:[5]
Dargin languages
- Northern Dargin
- Southern Dargin
Glottolog uses a different classification, based on Koryakov 2012.[6][7]
