Ketevan Lomtatidze (1911–2007) was a distinguished Georgian linguist and a leading specialist in Caucasian (Ibero-Caucasian) languages, particularly the Abkhaz-Adyghean (Abkhaz-Abaza) language group. She was a long-time researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Georgian Academy of Sciences and made fundamental contributions to the comparative-historical and descriptive study of the Abkhaz-Abaza dialects, including Ashkharyan.
This is a foundational 1954 monograph by Ketevan Lomtatidze, dedicated to the systematic study of the Ashkharyan dialect of the Abaza language (sometimes considered an Abkhaz dialect). The work provides a detailed linguistic description of its phonology, morphology, and syntax, crucially accompanied by a rich corpus of original dialectal texts. It also establishes the genetic position of Ashkharyan within the Abkhaz-Abaza dialect continuum. Published in a small print run by the Georgian Academy of Sciences.
