The Besleney dialect (Beslenej, Adyghe: Беслъэнеибзэ; Kabardian: Беслъэнеибзэ) is a dialect of the East Circassian language, spoken by the Besleney subgroup of Circassians. However, because the Besleney tribe lived at the center of Circassia, the Besleney dialect also shares a large number of features with dialects of Western Circassian and functions as a transitional linguistic link between the West Circassian (Adyghe) and East Circassian (Kabardian) languages.
