Talk:Avar language

I'd thought that Chamalal, Botlikh, Andi, Akhvakh, Dido, Khvarshi, Hinukh and Hunzib were full-blown languages that were not mutually intelligible, and not dialects of Avar (despite the fact that these peoples use Avar as a literary language). I know for a fact that Akhvakh is not an Avar dialect. In fact, this section just looks like a representative list of the Avar-Andi-Dido subgroup of the Northeast Caucasian languages. I'll change this if no-one objects. thefamouseccles 14:29, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Avar Wikipedia

Someone (named "Avarian") who seems to be a speaker of the language, is modifying all the entries in the Avarian Wikipedia. He is changing the spelling from standard Cyrillic to a ?— at least to my eyes strange appearing — Latin system. It's definitely not one of the two common transcriptions that I freequently see. It's just a guess but it might be his own creation. What to do? Does anyone know more about this? I've wrote him a comment into his discussion page... —N-true 12:28, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Arabic script

The Avar language is usually written in the Cyrillic alphabet, from 1928 to 1938 the Latin alphabet was used, before that, the Arabic alphabet was in use and before that, it was ye olde Georgian alphabete. I would really like to know how the Arabic and Old Georgian alphabets worked for this language... is there a source where I can find information about Arabic and Old Georgian Avar? The question also applies for other Caucasian languages such as Chechen or Tsez. — N-true 18:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

мацӀ

Does the word "мацӀ" mean "language" or "people"? It seems to be used as both on the page. Is this an inconsistency or the way the word is meant to be used? —Firespeaker 19:18, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
