Small mistake in description[edit]
- Dear @Bogreudell:
- I'm very sure there is an error in the description: Yenal always announces the spoken dialect like a written headline to introduce it. First he speaks the Shapsug dialect (min. 0:00-0:19), then the Bjjedugh/Bzhedug dialect (min. 0:20-0:40), then a language that the description claims is Abkhazian Language (related to Circassian, but developed separately for about 3000 years) (min. 0:41-0:56), then the Kabardian dialect in the Caucasus (Kabardino-Balkaria and surroundings) (min. 0:57-1:17) and lastly, the Kabardian dialect of the diaspora (1:18 ending).
- However, the third, middle language is not Abkhazian. This is the Abadzekh/Abdzakh dialect spoken by the Abadzekh/Abdzakh (see en:Abzakh Adyghe dialect). I can explain why: He calls it "Abdzakhem(bze)" ("-bze" means "language") several times at the beginning and in the text, which is the Adygean term for this dialect, see the Adygean interwiki of this article: ady:КӀах Адыгабзэ, the third red link there "абдзэххэм" (abdzakhkhem). The Adygean name for the southern neighboring Abkhazian language, which sounds quite different, is ady:Абхъазыбзэ (=Abkhasybze), what he doesn't say. If he then spoke Abkhaz language, he would have had to say "аҧсуа" ("ap'sua"), but he says "abdzakh" again. It also sounds like an Adyge/Circassian dialect, it's not Abkhazian, which sounds very different an has other names (in Circassian and Abkhaz). Do you agree that I will correct it. In the commentaries of Video in youtube somebody said it too. Sincelery--WajWohu (talk) 19:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hi User:WajWohu, thanks very much for this detailed explanation. It makes sense, but before we change the description, I would like to check with the video's original author (and the speaker, if he can be reached) to make sure they don't have anything else to add. Is that ok? Bogreudell (talk) 12:13, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oh you've got connections again, yes ok, it is the very best way to solve the question, to ask the speaker. After that I'll present it in de:Adygeische Sprache too, including the detailed description as Yenal gives us. Greetings--WajWohu (talk) 13:18, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
