The Khinalugs ((アゼルバイジャン語:Xınalıqlılar), Khinalug: ''kettiturdur'', ''ketsh khalkh'' ) are an indigenous people of Azerbaijan and speak the Khinalug language, a Northeast Caucasian language. The Khinalugs are indigenous to the Quba District and have been named after their main village, Khinalug. It is one of the peoples that have traditionally been called Shahdagh (together with Budukh people and Kryts people).〔Qəmərşah Cavadov. Azərbaycanın azsaylı xalqları və milli azlıqları (Tarix və müasirlik). Bakı "Elm" nəşriyyatı. 2000, p. 167–209 〕〔С.И.Брук. Население мира. Этнодемографический справочник. Москва. "Наука", 1986, с. 167. 〕〔http://atlas.musigi-dunya.az/en/history_xinalig.html Khinaligs Atlas.musigi-dunya.az 〕 Azerbaijani language is also widely spoken. ==History== The first written information about the Khinalug people is from the 18th century. Because there is no information about their history, it is impossible to study their ethnogenesis. There were some attempts to identify an ethnogenetical relation between the Khinalug people and the tribes of Caucasian Albania. A. Geybullaev considered the endonym ''ketid'' to be related to the name of one of the Caucasian Albanian tribes, ''ket''/''gat''. Another attempt was made by Anatoly Novoseltsev. He wrote: ''"Of those (i.e. tribes mentioned in Ashkharatsuyts—N.d.R), I think, the most interesting are Khenuks (Khenuts), i.e. obviously, Khinalugs, who retained as an independent ethnic component in the north of Azerbaijan even today"''. According to N.G. Volkova, such an approach in determining ethnogenetical relations is hardly acceptable as Anatoly Novoseltsev's theory proceeds from a resemblance of two ethnonyms. Another scientist, R. M. Magomedov, considered that Khenoks are Rutuls. The first mention of the Kihnalug toponym is in the works of Yaqut al-Hamawi in the 18th century as ''Khinaluk''. The first information about the Khinalug people is also from the 18th century. In the 18th century they were an "''independent community''" (''jamaat'') and at first, the community was a subject of the Shirvan Khanate and later the Quba Khanate. Although being a subject of the Shirvan Khanate, unlike the rest of the population, they were free of any obligations and taxes, except military service.〔 During the First All-Union Census of the Soviet Union in 1926 there were 105 Khinalugs in Azerbaijan. Already then part of the Khinalugs considered themselves to be Azerbaijanis both by self-identification and by language.〔 In the 1960s they were offered to be resettled in the lowlands of the Quba district, but they refused.〔 For a long time they have not appeared in any census. Their name again showed up in the 2009 Azerbaijani census.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Khinalug people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
