The Hinukh language is a Northeast Caucasian language of the Tsezic subgroup. It is spoken by about 200 to 500 people, the
Hinukhs, in the Tsuntinsky District of southwestern Dagestan, mainly in the village of Genukh . Hinukh is very closely related
to Tsez, but they are not entirely mutually intelligible. Only half of the children of the village speak the Hinukh language.
As Hinukh is unwritten, like the other members of the Tsezic family, Avar and Russian are used as literary language. Hinukh
is not considered to have dialects, but due to its linguistic proximity to Tsez it was once considered a Tsez dialect. The
Hinukh people were already mentioned in the Georgian chronicles of the Early Middle Ages. The language itself was first described
in 1916 by Russian ethnographer A. Serzhputovsky. |
