Social Network and Language Maintenance in Kabardians

Author(s): Nuray Alagozlu, Minira Garayeva

After the great Circassian exile from Caucassia in 1864, Kabardians, along with other Caucassian peoples, were settled in various parts of Anatolia during the reign of Ottoman Empire. For approximately one hundred and fifty years, they have lived with Turkish people. As a result of this language contact,their language, Kabardian was influenced by several factors, so was Kabardian society. Therefore, in this study,Kabardians' social network strength and language maintenance index were measured. Additionally, the number of Turkish words inserted into Kabardian language in the corpus data was calculated, which is deemed to support language maintenance index. The aim was to investigate to what extent Kabardians maintained their social bonds and language.
