ภาษาซาคูร์

Tsakhur (ЦӀаIхна миз or Yiqby in autonym) is a Northeast Caucasian (Lezgic) language of southern Daghestan and adjacent NE Azerbaijan. The Tsakhur are traditionally transhumant pastoralists whose summer pastures are in the high Caucasus and winter pastures in lower Azerbaijan. Tsakhur shares the Lezgic family's typological hallmarks: rich consonant inventory with ejectives, ergative-absolutive alignment, four noun classes, and elaborate spatial case morphology (~17 cases including locative subcategorization). The 1992 Cyrillic-based orthography was adopted under Daghestan's minority-language policy.
