This 1963 volume is a monumental achievement in Caucasian linguistics, authored by the distinguished scholar Alexander Magometov. It provides the first exhaustive scientific description of the Kubachi language, a distinct member of the Dargwa branch of the Northeast Caucasian language family. Spoken in the legendary mountain village of Kubachi, home to an ancient guild of goldsmiths and armorers, the language is as intricate and unique as the village's world-famous metalwork.
The monograph is structured into two essential sections. The first is a rigorous grammatical analysis, covering Kubachi's complex phonological system and its highly developed morphological structure, including its specific systems of noun classes and verbal conjugation. The second part is an invaluable chrestomathy of folklore and ethnographic texts. These were recorded personally by Magometov from native speakers, preserving oral traditions, legends, and descriptions of local crafts that might otherwise have been lost. Published by the Institute of Linguistics in Tbilisi during a period of prolific Caucasian research, this edition is a cornerstone for specialists in Ibero-Caucasian languages and remains a vital primary source for those studying the linguistic and cultural heritage of Dagestan.
