This 1969 linguistic study by M. Tsikolia is a specialized exploration of the Abzhywa dialect, which serves as the primary basis for the modern Abkhazian literary language. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of this Northwest Caucasian dialect, including the arrangement of its complex phonetic system, characterized by a high number of consonants and minimal vowel inventory, and its intricate verbal morphology. Published by the "Metsniereba" house of the Georgian Academy of Sciences, this work serves as a vital primary source for documenting the dialectal diversity of Abkhazia during the mid-Soviet period.  The volume is particularly valuable for its inclusion of authentic dialectal texts and linguistic data collected from the Ochamchira region, providing a robust foundation for comparative Caucasian philology.
