		The alphabet of the Caucasian Albanians or Aghbanians, one of the Ibero-Caucasian peoples, ancient and indigenous population of modern Azerbaijan and Daghestan is also called the Albanian alphabet (in addition to that of the modern country of Albania; see Albanian alphabet).
		This alphabet (with 52 letters) was invented in the 6th century AD on basis of the Georgian Asomtavruli and was discovered in 1937 by the noted Georgian scholar, Professor Ilia Abuladze; however, the extreme paucity of inscriptions made interpretation difficult.
		For much of its history, the Caucasian Albania was a part of the (An empire in southern Asia created by Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BC and destroyed by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC) Persian Empire.

		For the people of the Caucasus hospitality is sacred.
		In northern mountainous Azerbaijan and in Dagestan people still recall how the members of the “offended” clan of a common herdsman or peasant, whose daughter was treated not quite delicately by the ruler (i.e., not in line with the adats), literally exterminated the khan’s entire cohort and family.
		Unsheathing the kinjaal during a dispute or handling a Caucasian’s “papakha” (hat) disrespectfully is an equivalent of a slap in the face and is considered a blood offence.

	Languages of the Caucasus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many of the Caucasian languages have case systems (noun inflection rules) of a particular kind, known as ergative, which sets them typologically apart from most European languages.
		Comparisons have been made to all the three language families, Northeast Caucasian, Northwest Caucasian and Kartvelian, the most elaborate being the Dene-Caucasian hypothesis of John D. Bengtson's, yet the suggested evidence, though tempting, is considered as yet undecisive by many linguists, and the question of Basque's distant relatives thus remains open.
		It has been speculated that the South Caucasian languages may be related to the extinct Iberian language, spoken until the 1st century BC in the Iberian peninsula (which is known as "Western Iberia" in the Caucasus, to distinguish it from the Caucasian Iberia).
