Classification of Dargin languages according to Koryakov 2021.[2]
TheDargin languages consist of a dialect continuum of over 60[3]Northeast Caucasian languages or dialects spoken by theDargin people in southcentralDagestan.Kajtak,Kubachi,Itsari,Mehweb andChirag are often considered dialects of the sameDargin/Dargwa language.Ethnologue lists these under a common Dargin language, but also states that these may be separate languages from Dargwa proper.[citation needed] Reasons for classifying the southern group of dialects from the northern group is that speakers of the southern dialects have been reported as treating the literaryAqusha dialect as a foreign language.[4] Due to the linguistic fragmentation of the Dargin languages, speakers use Russian as alingua franca.[5]
Present in theliterary standard of Dargwa, but not some other dialects.
Present in some dialects, but not the literary standard.
The source is rather ambiguous in its using the term "laryngeal" for a presumed column of consonants that includes both a "voiced" and a "glottalized" plosive. A voicedglottal plosive cannot be made, because theglottis needs to be closed, and an ejective consonant requires an additional closure further up the vocal tract. Pending clarification, this row has been transcribed here as anepiglottal column and a glottal stop, both found in many other East Caucasian languages.
