Adyghe, also known as West Circassian is a Northwest Caucasian language spoken by the western subgroups of Circassians. It's spoken mainly in Russia, as well as in Turkey, Jordan, Syria and Israel. Adyghe is closely related to the Kabardian (East Circassian) language. Adyghe has 610.000 native speakers. However there are very few learning materials for Adyghe learners.

How to learn Adyghe?
How to learn Adyghe if there are so few resources available? Online self-studying Adyghe seems very hard. We would advise getting our "English-Acehnese vocabulary notebook" and fill in the blanks and the empty pages with the help of native Adyghe speakers. We would also advise trying to search learning materials in Russian and maybe Turkish and other languages that are spoken in the areas where Circassians live currently.
