"This book is the only theoretical guide characterizing the main features of the languages of the minority ethnic groups of the Caucasus and establishing their common origin (genesis) by comparing this data. The author of this book is the creator of the theory of kinship of the Iberian-Caucasian languages and the founder of the corresponding scientific school. This book aims at presenting a systematic analysis of the significant phenomena of phonetics, morphology and syntax of the Iberian-Caucasian languages. According to the author, the obtained results will be an important basis for forming the final picture of comparative phonetics. The book will be useful for those interested in acquiring more knowledge of the diverse linguistic world of the Caucasus and, if interested, in the further scientific study of these languages"--

The Oxford Handbook of Languages of the Caucasus is an introduction to and overview of the linguistically diverse languages of southern Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Though the languages of the Caucasus have often been mischaracterized or exoticized, many of them have cross-linguistically rare features found in few or no other languages. This handbook presents facts and descriptions of the languages written by experts. The first half of the book is an introduction to the languages, with the linguistic profiles enriched by demographic research about their speakers. It features overviews of the main language families as well as detailed grammatical descriptions of several individual languages. The second half of the book delves more deeply into theoretical analyses of features, such as agreement, ellipsis, and discourse properties, which are found in some languages of the Caucasus. Promising areas for future research are highlighted throughout the handbook, which will be of interest to linguists of all subfields.

Perhaps more than any other group of languages those of the Caucasus are famous for their enormous and difficult consonantal systems. It is by no means exceptional for one of these languages to have as many as 50 consonants, and of these languages those from the Northwest Caucasus have the largest and most complex consonantal systems. The extensive use of the articulatory regions of the mouth together with the occurrence of secondary modifications at many of these points is unequalled by any other known group of languages. This detailed study examines the languages of the Northwest Caucasus and provides an essential guide to this most complicated group of languages.
