His family owned some agricultural land, which was not extensive, but enough to be landowners in the area, and for the family members to get university education, and be employed in job unrelated to agriculture.
The family also traditionally held the position of "the 'Omda" (Village Head العمدة), where the last person to hold this position in the family was Mohamed Abdallah (my father's grandfather, alsocalled Abu Abdallah, since he was the son of Abdallah, which is an unusual form of Kunya) until his death.
His family roots are said to be from the Caucaus mountains, most probably Circassian, who left that area because of Tsarist Russia's encroachment there in the 19th century.

Several linguists have proposed an "Ibero-Caucasian" family comprising all of the Caucasian languages and Basque.
Abkhaz and Abaza are very close to each other and are considered by some scholars to be dialects of the same language.
There are no grammatical cases in Abkhaz and Abaza, and in the other languages only two principal cases occur: a direct case (nominative) and an oblique case, combining the functions of several cases--ergative, genitive, dative, and instrumental.

The Abaza family is one of the best Egyptian families, and I would be proud to be a member of that family, but I'm not.
Other Circassian families have immigrated from the Caucaus and settled in Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt, including, for example, [b]the well known Abaza family in Egypt, or the influential Circassians families in Jordan.
Most Abaza women marry while they are in their early twenties, but men often wait until they are in their thirties or even forties.

 Caucasian Language Family
It is hard to believe that the Caucasus Mountains, a relatively narrow land bridge between the Black and the Caspian Seas, are home to one of the highest concentrations of languages in the world.
Besides languages from other language families (Armenian, Azerbaijani, Russian) brought by settlers and invaders over the past three millennia, there are 39 indigenous languages recognized as belonging to a single Caucasian family.
The puzzle of the isolated Caucasian language families has been attracting the attention of scholars since the 19th century.

EGYPTIAN writer, novelist and Al-Ahram columnist Tharwat Abaza died on Sunday at the age of 75.
Perhaps best remembered for Shayy min Al-Khawf (Something of Fear) which was turned into a film starring Soad Hosni, Abaza received numerous honours and awards during his lifetime including the medal of science and arts of the first degree and, in 1982, the state appreciation award in literature.
Coming from a prominent Wafdist family, Abaza was known for his conservative -- often outspoken -- political views which put him at odds with Nasserists and the Egyptian Left in general and brought him closer to the Sadat regime in the 1970s.

Traditionally, the language families spoken only in the Caucasus (Kartvelian, Northwest Caucasian, Dagestanian, and Nakh languages) into a single Ibero-Caucasian or Caucasian family.
However, there is no significant evidence that those four families have a common origin, so "Ibero-Caucasian" is basically a geographic label.

 ABKHAZIA.ORG - The Abkhaz Language
Abkhaz belongs to the small North West Caucasian language-family whose other members are Circassian, the virtually extinct Ubykh and Abaza.
There may well be a distant genetic relationship with the remaining two North Caucasian families (North Central Caucasian and North East Caucasian, or Daghestanian), but no such link can be demonstrated with South Caucasian (Kartvelian).
From a purely linguistic point of view Abaza can be viewed as a divergent dialect of Abkhaz, though for geo-political reasons both were awarded literary status in the early days of Soviet power in the Caucasus.

What Abaza is saying, as do anthropologists, is that Egyptians have Caucasian features-not just Caucasian noses, but all of the other facial features that go along with it.
It is very true what Abaza says--Northern Sudanese in particular absolutely loathe being called fl; they want to be considered Arabs, but their Arab ancestry is usually minute.
Like Abaza, she realizes that Egypt's geographical location in Africa does not make it racially or culturally kin to the rest of the continent, especially sub-Saharan African nations from which fl Americans descend.
