Book Description
This book is an introduction to and overview of the languages of the Caucasus, including those of southern Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. This region of the world exhibits extremely high linguistic diversity, and many of the languages spoken in the Caucasus have cross-linguistically rare features that are found in few or no other languages. This handbook serves as a comprehensive overview with detailed descriptions of languages as well as theoretically oriented chapters.
