Akhvakh people
Ethnic group of Dagestan, Russia
The Akhvakhs (also known as Akhwakh, Akhvakhtsy or G'akhevalal; ГІахьвалал in Avar) are one of the Andi–Dido peoples of Dagestan and have their own language. They call themselves Atluatii or Ashvado. Prior to 1930 Soviet ethnologists considered them to be a distinct ethnic group.[citation needed] Since that time they have often been classified as Avars.
