Adyghe, also known as West Circassian, (or Lower Circassian) is a Northwest Caucasian language spoken by the western subgroups of Circassians. Native to Circassia in the Caucasus, it is one of the two official languages of Adygea (the other being Russian), although it is mainly spoken in Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and Israel, where Circassians settled after the Circassian genocide by the Russian Empire.
