FROM WIKIPEDIA
Abkhaz is a Northwest Caucasian language spoken in Abkhazia and Turkey.
Abkhaz has about 80,000 speakers in Abkhazia, 20,000 in Georgia, of these
with up to 500,000 more living in northeastern Turkey. Abkhaz is a Northwest Caucasian language, indicating it originated in the northwest Caucasus. Northwest Caucasian languages have been suggested as being related to the Northeast Caucasian languages and both are often merged under the blanket term "North Caucasian languages." Sometimes North Caucasian languages and South Caucasian languages are grouped into the Caucasian languages, but these have not been shown conclusively to be related and are widely considered to be a geographically based convention.
