Lezgian language in the context of "Kaspiysk"

Lezgins (Lezgian: Лезгияр, romanized: lezgiär or Lezgian: лекьер, romanized: leq'er) are a Northeast Caucasian ethnic group native to southern Dagestan, a republic of Russia, and northern Azerbaijan, who speak the Lezgin language. Their social structure is firmly based on equality and deference to individuality. Lezgin society is structured around djamaat (Lezgian: жамаат, lit. 'unions of clans') and has traditionally been egalitarian and organised around many autonomous local clans, called sykhyls (сихилар).

The land of the Lezgins has been subject to multiple invaders throughout history. Its isolated terrain and the strategic value outsiders have placed on the areas settled by Lezgins has contributed much to the Lezgin community ethos and helped shape its national character. Due to constant attacks from the invaders, the Lezgins have developed a national code of honor and conduct, Lezgiwal, passed down from generation to generation by parents and society. It implies moral and ethical behaviour, generosity and the will to safeguard the honor of women.

Lezgin clans or sykhyls (also tukhums) (Lezgian: си́хил, [sykhyl]) are traditional Lezgin kinship groups sharing self-identified through descent from a common ancestor.

The Lezgiwal (Lezgian: лезги́вал, [lezgi:wal]) is the worldview and moral code of the Lezgin people. Tenets of the Lezgiwal include being especially respectful towards elders and (for men) women; a policy of only marrying another Lezgin in order to protect the nation's endangered culture; and exemplifying the values of truthfulness, honour, and bravery. A Lezgin's behavior towards the environment is always subject to this law, wherever he is.

The Tsakhur or Saxur (Lezgian: ЦIахурар, Azerbaijani: Saxurlar, Russian: Цахуры) people are a Lezgin sub-ethnic group of northern Azerbaijan and southern Dagestan (Russia). The group numbers around 30,000 people and are called yiqy (pl. yiqby), but are generally known by the name Tsakhur, which derives from the name of a Dagestani village, where they make up the majority.

The Samur (Azerbaijani: Самурчај, romanized: Samurçay; Lezgian: Самурвацl; Russian: Самур; Rutul: Самыр) is a river in Russia's Dagestan Republic, also partially flowing throughAzerbaijan and forming part of the Azerbaijan–Russia border.

The Lezgic languages (also Lezgian or Lezghian) are one of seven branches of the Northeast Caucasian language family. Lezgin and Tabasaran are literary languages. Khinalug may either be Lezgic or an independent branch of the Northeast Caucasian family.
