This 1974 academic monograph by Vladimir Panchvidze represents a landmark study in the field of Caucasian linguistics, specifically focusing on the Udi language. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of this unique Lezgic language—a direct descendant of the Caucasian Albanian language—including the arrangement of its complex morphological structures, ergative alignment, and phonetic peculiarities. Published by the "Metsniereba" house under the auspices of the Institute of Linguistics, this work serves as a vital primary source for documenting the grammar of a language that is critical for understanding the history and ethnogenesis of the eastern Caucasus.  Panchvidze’s meticulous analysis is based on years of field research among the Udi communities in Vartashen and Nij, as well as the village of Zinobiani in Georgia. With a very limited print run of only 600 copies, this volume is an essential bibliographical rarity for caucasiologists, typologists, and historians of the Caucasus, capturing the high rigor of the Georgian school of linguistics during the Soviet era.
