<b>Description:</b>

The modern Avar language (self-designation магӀарул мацӀ [maʕarul mat͡sʼ] "language of the mountains" or Авар мацӀ [awar mat͡sʼ] "Avar language") belongs to the Avar-Andi-Tsez subgroup of the Alarodian Northeast-Caucasian (or Nakh-Dagestani) language family.
It is spoken mainly in the eastern and southern parts of the Russian Caucasus republic of Dagestan, and the Balaken, Zakatala north-west region of Azerbaijan. Some population of Avars live in other regions of Russia. There are also small communities of speakers living in the Russian republics of Chechnya and Kalmykia; in Georgia, Kazakhstan, Jordan, and the Marmara Sea region of Turkey. It has more than 1,400,000 speakers worldwide.
It is one of six literary languages of Dagestan, where it is spoken not only by Avars, but also serves as the language of communication between different groups.
There are two main dialect groups: the northern (Avar literature), which includes Khunzakh, Kazbek, Gunib, Gumbet and others; and the southern (sub dialects), which includes Andalal, Gidatl', Antsukh, Charoda, Tlyarata, Cumada, Cunta and others. Avar has fifteen spoken dialects, which by many linguists are considered separate languages:<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=394894 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
