 Caucasus Foundation
Along with the consonants that occur in all the Caucasian languages, the Abkhazo-Adyghian languages are characterized by different sets of labialized consonants (formed by rounding the lips), strong (hard or tense) consonants, half-hushing consonants, and velarized consonants (formed with the back of the tongue approaching the soft palate).
The consonant systems of the Nakh languages are relatively simple, coinciding, on the whole, with those of the South Caucasian languages (apart from a number of pharyngeal consonants characteristic of all the Nakh languages and a lateral sound peculiar to Bats).
All the Caucasian languages have a series of stops of three types--voiced, voiceless aspirated, and glottalized (i.e., pronounced, respectively, with vibrating vocal cords; with vocal cords not vibrating but with an accompanying audible puff of breath; and with accompanying closure of the glottis [space between the vocal cords]).

While the population of the Tabasaran district is ethnically homogeneous, half of the population of the Khiv district are Lezgis.
In the 7th century, a Tabasaran state unit emerged, which in the 12th century turned into a maisum state (maisum -- ruler, governor) and between the 13th and 15th centuries is supposed to have become a part of the Khanate of Derbent.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Tabasaran region was subordinated to two feudal domains: southern or Upper Tabasaran was ruled by the maisum and northern or Lower Tabasaran by the gadi.

In the period of consolidation of the Soviet regime, considerable advancements were made in the Tabasaran economy: the area of cultivated land expanded, new crops were introduced, and there was a wholesale implementation of new machinery.
In 1926, 0.1 % of all Tabasarans lived in towns, in 1959, it was 8.8 %, and in 1970, 16.2 %.
Most Tabasarans, however, still live in their ancient region where the people are united by a common economy and language.

 North Caucasian languages sddd.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
North Caucasian languages is a blanket term for two language phyla spoken chiefly in the north Caucasus and Turkey : the Northwest Caucasian languages (Pontic, Abkhaz-Adyghe, Circassian) family and the Northeast Caucasian languages (East Caucasian, Caspian, Nakh-Dagestanian) family; the latter including the former North-central Caucasian languages (Nakh) family.
However, due to the nature of the languages in question, this proposal is difficult to evaluate, and remains controversial.
For example, in Tabasaran language, a series of locative case s intersect with a series of suffix es designating motion with regard to the location, producing an array of some 48 locative suffixes (often incorrectly described as noun case s).

 The Tower of Babel
PL *ˆ:º is reflected as ¼¹ (in all positions) in literary Tabasaran and yields a voiced delabialized ½- in initial position in the Dµbek subdialect; PL *Š: is voiced in initial position in Dµbek (*Š:->*‰:> ¾-), but preserves its voicelessness in the literary language.
In Tabasaran tense fricatives have been preserved in the Northern dialect (though not identically in all subdialects; thus the Dµbek subdialect has already lost tense fricatives in initial position), but have already been lost in the Southern dialect and in the literary language.
In the Koshan dialect of the Agul language the reflexation is unusual: PL *›: > Kosh.

 Language
Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.

This language is clas sified in the literature in different ways: A. Volodin [}{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 Volodin, 1997}{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 ] assigns it to nominative languages, but G. Klimov [}{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 Klimov, 1973}{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 ] considers it to be an ergative one.
In Tabasaran a verb agrees with the absolutivee in class and number, with the ergative in person and number, and besides, optionally, agrees with the oblique object (expressed by a pronoun of the 1 or 2 person) in person, number and case (!) [}{ \fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 Mel\rquote cuk, 1998}{\fs22\lang1033\langfe1049\langnp1033 ].
Such facts as the appearance of elements of the active system in dialects of the Tabasaran (an ergative language), which are absent not only in the languages of neighboring territories, but also in languages spoken at a distance of thousan ds of kilometers, confirm this.

 Caucasian Language Family
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 population figures for many of these languages are based on old data, so that some of them may already be extinct.
Even though many of these languages have sizable populations of fluent speakers, the combination of bilingualism in Russian, restrictions imposed by former Soviet government policies, and lack of educational and employment opportunities in these languages may signal the end of the road for many of them.

The Azerbaijani language, additionally yawped Azeri, Azari, Azeri Turkish, or Azerbaijani Turkish, is the official language of Republic of Azerbaijan.
It is a Turkic language of the Oghuz branch, sharply not variant to Turkish and additionally historically influenced by Persian and Arabic languages.
In addition, Azerbaijani is mutually intelligible with fresh Oghuz languages, which interject the Turkish language as spoken in Turkey, the Caucasus, Cyprus, the Balkans, Iraq, Syria, and Western Europe, as wrapped tight as the Turkmen language.

For my collection of the number 47 in all languages, I planned to include only 'real' languages found on their list, plus artificial languages as long as their not 'private' ones (Thomas Goldammer's language would be a private one, while Klingon is not), plus dead languages like Hittite or Anglo-Saxon, which Ethnologue doesn't list.
The Northeast Caucasian language Tabasaran, for instance, goes by that name as well as Tabassaran, Tabasarantsy and Ghumghum.
In short, what constitutes a language is about as precise as what constitutes a planet (at the moment, at least).

And there are in Caucasia other languages of the Turkic family (Kumyk, Karachai, Nogai, Balkar) and of the Indo-European family (Ossetic, Tat or "Mountain Jewish", and the language of the colonizing Russians).
When we talk about the Caucasian languages (some say "Paleocaucasian", that is, "ancient Caucasian"), we mean Georgian together with the many others that were apparently born there, the little languages spoken along the flanks of the high Caucasus.
In other words, all the surviving languages of all the continents may be descended from just a few ancestral languages, of which a large fraction — two out of fifteen — came from and are still confined to the relatively tiny region of Caucasia.

It seems self-evident to me that languages which are close to your mother tongue in terms of vocabulary (and also in grammar I would add) will be easier to learn than more distant ones.
