Adyghe ( or ; Adyghe: , ''adyghabze'' ), also known as West Circassian (), is one of the two official languages of the Republic of Adygea in the Russian Federation, the other being Russian. It is spoken by various tribes of the Adyghe people: Abzekh,〔(Abzakh dialect ) 〕 Adamey, Bzhedug;〔(Bzhedug dialect ) 〕 Hatuqwai, Temirgoy, Mamkhegh; Natekuay, Shapsug;〔(Shapsoug dialect ) 〕 Zhaney, Yegerikuay, each with its own dialect. The language is referred to by its speakers as ''Adygebze'' or ''Adəgăbză'', and alternatively spelled in English as ''Adygean'', ''Adygeyan'' or ''Adygei''. The literary language is based on the Temirgoy dialect. There are apparently around 128,000 speakers of Adyghe in Russia, almost all of them native speakers. In total, some 300,000 speak it worldwide. The largest Adyghe-speaking community is in Turkey, spoken by the post Russian–Circassian War (circa 1763–1864) diaspora; in addition to that, the Adyghe language is spoken by the Cherkesogai in Krasnodar Krai. Adyghe belongs to the family of Northwest Caucasian languages. Kabardian (also known as East Circassian) is a very close relative, treated by some as a dialect of Adyghe or of an overarching Circassian language. Ubykh, Abkhaz, and Abaza are somewhat more distantly related to Adyghe. The language was standardized after the October Revolution in 1917. Since 1936, the Cyrillic script has been used to write Adyghe. Before that, an Arabic-based alphabet was used together with the Latin. == Dialects == *The Black Sea coast dialects * *Shapsug dialect () * * *North Shapsugs, Great Shapsugs, Kuban Shapsugs dialect (Шапсыгъэ шху). * * *Temirgoy-Shapsugs, Pseuşko accent (Кӏэмгуе-шапсыгъ) * * *South Shapsugs, Small Shapsugs, Coastal Shapsugs Black Sea Shapsugs (Шапсыгъэ-цӏыкӏу) dialect. * * *Kfar Kama dialect (Кфар Камэм ишапсыгъэбзэ) * * *Hakuchi dialect (ХьакӀуцубзэ, Къaрaцхaибзэ) * *Natukhai dialect () *The Kuban river dialects * *Bzhedug dialect () : Spoken by the Circassians in Republic of Adygea and Biga district of Çanakkale city in Turkey. * *Temirgoy () : Literary Adyghe.
