Quick Facts Pronunciation, Native to ...

Since the Hakuchi are considered an isolated Shapsug clan, their dialect differs little from that of the Shapsug dialect. It is also believed that Hakuchis are a blend of various Circassian tribes: Shapsug, Ubykh, Abdzakh and others. This is why Hakuchi dialect has some interesting phonetics in it.

Phonology

The Hakuchi has an uvular ejective [qʼ] and a labialized uvular ejective [qʷʼ][1] that correspond to West Adyghe and Kabardian Adyghe glottal stop [ʔ] and labialized glottal stop [ʔʷ].
