The Botlikh language (also transcribed Botlixi or Buikhadiklya-mits'i; self-designation Buikhadi) is a member of the Andic branch of the Nakh-Dagestanian (Northeast Caucasian) language family, spoken in the villages of Botlikh, Miarso, and Ashino in the Botlikh district of western Dagestan. With a contemporary speaker community of approximately 6,000-8,000, Botlikh has no established writing tradition and uses Avar and Russian as literary and school languages. Togo Eustafievich Gudava was the principal Soviet-era specialist on the Andic languages of Dagestan, Professor at Tbilisi State University and researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Georgian Academy of Sciences, where the scholarly study of the Iberian-Caucasian language group was centered from the 1930s onward. His monograph on the Botlikh language, issued in 1963 by the Georgian Academy of Sciences Press, is the first and remains the most authoritative published grammatical description of this language, following the classic Soviet Caucasiological format of systematic grammatical analysis (phonetics, morphology, syntax), followed by original field texts and a bilingual Botlikh-Georgian lexicon, and capped by a Russian-language summary. The volume was prepared under the editorship of Arnol'd Stepanovich Chikobava (1898-1985), the towering figure of twentieth-century Georgian and Caucasian linguistics, Corresponding Member and later Member of the Georgian Academy of Sciences, Stalin Prize laureate for his grammar of the Zan (Laz-Mingrelian) dialects, and long-serving director of the Institute of Linguistics. Chikobava's editorial imprimatur situates the volume squarely in the canonical series of Iberian-Caucasian grammatical monographs published by the Georgian Academy.
