In this respect, first of all, Kodorian and Cholurian dialects of Svan call the attention of linguists as well as ethnolinguists. The first is Svan of the Svans of Upper and Lower Bal population who moved from the Kodori Gorge (from Svaneti) and settled in the Enguri Gorge (in Apkhazia) a century ago, the second is the combination of Lower Svan dialects (Lashkhian-Lentekhian). I can only say this because the process of fundamental research of both speech is being carried out at the Arnold Chikobava Institution of Linguistics for several years under the financial support of the Rustaveli Foundation at the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia. Prior to that, there were only separate theoretical expressions or the results of synchronous description of the empirical material in the professional literature fragmentary (Besarion Jorbenadze, Akaki Shanidze, Varlam Topuria, Maxime Kaldani, Mery Gujejiani, Mikheil Kurdiani, Tariel Putkaradze, Lamara Babluani…). The problem is quite serious and requires not only the linguistic approach but also the use of linguistic geography cartographic methods. After our scientific expeditions in the Kodori Gorge the military- political battles (2008) complicated the situation - we have been taken away from the research object, so we have to work with the refugees who have been rooted out from their housing and who are scattered in the whole territory of Georgia. While we do not have deeply investigated ethnolinguistic research results of dialectal interferences, our request is to avoid the oral and written statements on the properties of the Kodorian Svan speech in separate articles. This study is an attempt to demonstrate the inter-merging of morphonological and lexicological occurrences of the Upper Svan dialects in the Kodorian dialect and its results. Key words:Kartvelian languages, inter-merging of morphonological and lexicological occurrences. Atthe Humanitarian Faculties of have been grounding only on the Universities of Georgia (and some of the traditionally studied four-dialectal mate- foreign countries) there are delivered the rials. As for Kodorian and Cholurian lecture courses in phonetic and morpho- dialects, almost nothing is taught about syntactic analysis of unwritten Kartvelian them.

  • The Abkhazia Border Within Russia According to 1989 Census Data and Politicized Linguistic Maps Prof
    Linguistic Situations in Conflict Regions – The Abkhazia Border within Russia according to 1989 Census Data and Politicized Linguistic Maps Prof. Dr. Tariel Putkaradze Before 1993 the majority of the autochthonous population of Abkhazia was Georgians. At the end of the 20th c. official and informal military troops of the Russian Federation expelled 350 000 Georgians and 30 000 Abkhaz from the autonomous republic. Some scholars try to provide the world with such linguistic maps of the site of this linguistic tragedy that suggest there are no and never had been any Georgian-speaking residents in Abkhazia. Below we provide the language situation description in north-west Georgia (We have referred to the official 1989 Soviet Union census data as basis for our argumentation). Keywords: Abkhazia, Linguistic Map, Linguistic Situation Abkhazia was historically a part of Georgia. Ten centuries ago it acted as a leading region for the development of the Georgian language spoken in united Georgia (Sakartvelo). Before 1993 the majority of the autochthonous population of Abkhazia was Georgians. Russia has always been interested in obtaining access to the Black Sea. That is why Russia has always tried to exile Georgians and Russian opponents from the historic territory of Georgia. The first ethnic cleansing took place in 1867 (nearly 40 000 Muslim Abkhazians were expelled in Turkey). The second cleansing occurred at the end of the 20th c. when 350 000 Georgians and 30 000 Abkhazians were driven out of the Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia. The presented problem is described based on the classification of the dialects of Georgians and those within their sphere of linguistic influence: Georgians have one centuries- old literary language – the Georgian/Kartvelian language – and more than ten varieties (dialects).

  • The Svan Language. Kevin Tuite Département D'anthropologie
    The Svan language. Kevin Tuite Département d’anthropologie, Université de Montréal PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. This description of the grammar of the Svan language is more than a revised edition of the grammatical sketch I published in 1997. That earlier attempt appeared just as Svan linguistics was entering a new and exciting stage. At the Arnold Chikobava Institute of Linguistics in Tbilisi, a new generation of researchers, many of them native speakers of Svan, were bringing the long-overdue Svan dictionary project to completion, and beginning to explore aspects of the language that had hitherto drawn little or no attention. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to these extraordinary colleagues, without whom this grammatical sketch could never have been written. Their works are cited throughout this grammar, and many of their publications are listed in the bibliography, but there are some whom I wish to thank personally in this preface: Roena Ch’k’adua, Lela Giglemiani, Chato Gujejiani, Rusudan and Xatuna Ioseliani, Ketevan Margiani- Subari, Meri Saghliani, Nato Shavreshiani, and of course, Madame Iza Chant’ladze. Deep thanks as well to my friends in the commune of Lat’ali, for their hospitality, patience, and willingness to let a clueless outsider learn something about daily life in a Svan village: the C’erediani family (Nino, Leri, Levan, Maik’o; their beloved parents Davit and Valia, who alas are no longer with us); also Bagrat Nansq’ani, Madona Chamgeliani, and many other kind residents who have shared their knowledge, food and drink over the years. Among the non-Georgian colleagues who have generously offered their comments and expertise, I wish to acknowledge Winfried Boeder, Jost Gippert, Christine Jourdan; and my students Hélène Gérardin and Jean-François Juneau.
