К проблеме общеадыгского литературного языка

Abstract

In the introductory part of the article, arguments arc given confirming the relevance of the topic, on which there are very few scientific developments, although it worries all the Adyghes living both in their historical homeland in the KBR, AR, KChR, and in foreign diasporas. The article mainly uses the comparative-historical method of research. The historical facts that led to the disunity of the Adygs - the Adyghes and Kabardians, who created a literary language based on different dialects, are being clarified. To a certain extent, materials on the history of the Adyghe and Kabardino-Circassian languages were used, as well as variants of alphabets created on different graphic bases, the appearance of which was influenced by political and other reasons. As noted in the article, the literary language has a special meaning in Nalchik for the Circassians, who turned out to be disunited and living in the three republics of Russia and in many foreign countries, being in a foreign cultural environment. Representatives of the Circassians realized in the 1920s the need to create a single alphabet, but this was prevented by historical and political circumstances, which will be discussed in this study. Now many advocate the creation of a single literary language, but few offer real ways to achieve this noble goal. In the 1990s, experts considered this problem almost insoluble and it was postponed indefinitely. The author of the article invites to a discussion on this topic and offers some preliminary solutions that can budge an important problem for the people.
