		The Lezgians and Avars of the South Caucasus: these, the 244,1 thousand residents of the Zakatala and Belokan regions of Azerbaijan and the 16 thousand highlanders of the Kvareli region of Georgia, are potential repatriates.
		If in 1992-1994 the southern Lezgian lands of Republic were in the centre of internal political instability, after the Russian-Chechen war of 1994-1996 the problems that came to the forefront were related to refugees and the repatriation of Chechen-Akkins in North-West Dagestan.
		Lezgians in Azerbaijan are grouped around the "Samur" society and the Lezgian Democratic Party established in 1992.

	Lezgi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lezgi language, also called Lezgian, is a language spoken by the Lezgins who live in southern Dagestan (A republic of Russia) and northern Azerbaijan.
		Lezgi belongs to the Lezgian group of the Dagestan or Northeast Caucasian language family.
		In 1996, Lezgi was spoken by about 257,000 people in Russia, mainly in Southern Dagestan, as well as 171,400 people in Azerbaijan.

	The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
		In the 15th century the Rutuls had not yet completely splintered from the Lezgian community and despite their own language and culture they were treated as Lezgians in the historical records of that time.
		In comparison with other Lezgian peoples the triumphal progress of the Soviet power was much quicker in the area where the Rutul were living.
		Russian does not at the moment represent as strong a danger to the survival of their language as the languages of closer neighbours, the Azerbaijani and the Lezgians.

	The Lezgis
		The Lezgis, Lezghis, Lezgians or whatever else you may prefer to call them (they call themselves "Лезги", the plural of which is "Лезгияр"), are one of the Caucasus' indigenous peoples.
		Their traditional lands are located along the banks of the river Samur and are divided between Azerbaijan and Daghestan, the latter of which is a republic within the Russian Federation.
		Not that simple, when we see that the government of at least one of the Lezgi inhabited republics (hint: the southern one) is reluctant to give the Lezgis opportunity to hone their language and culture, which are in serious danger, as the process of assimilation is actively promoted.

	LINGUIST List 3.28: Nominative in Non-finite Clauses
		David Pesetsky suggests that the Lezgian construction with a nominative in a non-finite clause in (1) could be analyzed as (the equivalent of) subject-to- (nominative)object raising: (1) Didedi-z gada-0 agaq'-na k'an-zawa.
		As it happens, Lezgian is one of the few Daghestanian languages that have lost gender agreement, so this cannot be illustrated from Lezgian.
		The 'problem' of nominative arguments in non-finite clauses appears in many parts of Lezgian grammar, and it is clear that it cannot be explained away.

		The largest such minority is the Lezgians, who are predominantly Sunni Muslim and speak their own language, which is part of the Dagestani language group.
		With the advent of perestroyka, the Lezgian leadership in the then Russian and Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist Republics united to form the `Sadval' Lezgian Peoples Movement which advocates the unification of the Lezgian-populated territories in Azerbaijan and Dagestan in order to form a sovereign Lezgian state within a Dagestani context.
		Recognition of the Lezgian problem at the state level in Azerbaijan along with a recent, far-reaching law on ensuring the rights and freedoms of national minorities in Azerbaijan could possibly reduce the chances of conflict over the issue.

	Lezgian
		Lezgian is spoken by about 400,000 people in southern Daghestan and northern Azerbaijan in the eastern Caucasus.
		My research on Lezgian was primarily carried out in 1989-1993.
		I spent six months in Moscow in 1989-90 working with a number of Lezgian speakers residing in Moscow, as well as with a wide variety of published texts.

	Jeff Good: The Descriptive Grammar as a (Meta)Database
		Some aspects of the sectioning given in table 1 of the chapter on verbal inflection in the Lezgian grammar are clearly driven by a sense of an appropriate grouping of concepts relating to verbal inflection.
		For example, in the excerpt from the Lezgian grammar given in figure 6, a typical convention is employed wherein section identifiers consist of a string of numbers connected by dots while exemplar identifiers consist of one number surrounded by parentheses.
		The fact that "Ergative" is capitalized is an indication that arguments marked with this case in Lezgian may not have all the features typically associated with ergative case arguments.

	The ECLING Project: Udi
		Udi (the local designation is udin muz "Udi language") belongs to the Lezgian (or Southern) branch of the autochthonous East Caucasian language family.
		Within the Lezgian branch, Udi occupies a so-called marginal position reflecting the fact that historically speaking the language separated from the Lezgian "branch" soon after this branch disintegrated into at least three "dialects" (Early Udi, Early Archi, and Early Samur).
		The unique position of Udi within the Lezgian branch of East Caucasian has motivated linguists to work on this language for nearly 150 years now, starting with A. Schiefner's famous 1863 grammar.

		Most Lezgian marry within their own clans, and the elder women are very influential in such decisions.

	LINGUIST List 3.72: Nominative in Non-Finite Clauses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		As Jonathan Bobaljik rightly observes, ergative languages which allow only absolutive arguments in non-finite clauses (such as, apparently, Eskimo-Aleut) are not a problem for traditional GB theory, at least given certain assumptions about absolutive and ergative case (specifically, that ergative case, but not absolutive case, is assigned VP-externally).
		I apologize for not having pointed out that Lezgian shows ergative/absolutive (or ergative/nominative) case marking and that the Lezgian "nominative" is an absolutive case (in fact, I call it Absolutive case in my forthcoming grammar).
		It seems that the Lezgian facts cannot be simply explained away and the problem for GB remains.

	The Udi language represents a marginal Lezgian (Southeast Caucasian) language
		Udi (the local designation is udin muz ‘Udi(sh) language’) belongs to the Lezgian (or Southern) branch of the autochthonous East Caucasian language family.
		It can be regarded as a marginal Lezgian language stemming from a Proto-Lezgian dialect that became separated from the central ‘Samur’ branch quite early (1500 BC ?).
		The so-called ‘tenth’ Lezgian language, namely Khinalug (in the Shah-Dagh mountains) probably emerged from contact of a Proto-Lezgian dialect with another yet unidentified East Caucasian language (or vice versa).
