Perhaps more than any other group of languages those of the
Caucasus are famous for their enormous and difficult consonantal
systems. It is by no means exceptional for one of these languages
to have as many as 50 consonants, and of these languages those from
the Northwest Caucasus have the largest and most complex
consonantal systems. The extensive use of the articulatory regions
of the mouth together with the occurrence of secondary
modifications at many of these points is unequalled by any other
known group of languages. This detailed study examines the
languages of the Northwest Caucasus and provides an essential guide
to this most complicated group of languages.
