Piotr Kozłowski - Introduction to Lezgi Part 1: History & Background

Lezgi (or Lezgian) is a fascinating language spoken in Caucasus mountains. This three-part presentation serves as a brief introduction to its structure, history and present-day challenges.

Part 1 - history and background - sketches out its general background, family affiliations and outside influences as well as major events in its linguistic history.

The presentation, by necessity, barely touches the surface. If you want to learn a bit more about Lezgi and available resources, you can consult the "Lezgi language" thread on the Polyglot Conference's forum
