Qafesona: Difference between revisions

The Qafesona language (Qafesona: Cyrillic: ''ӄафесона тил'', Latin: ''qafesona til'', IPA: [[IPA for Qafesona|[ˈqafɛˌsonǝ ˈсil]]]) is a small language isolate within the Slavic language. It is spoken on both sides of Georgia's borders with Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia (specifically Dagestan, Chechnya, Ingushetia and North Ossetia-Alania) and the vast majority of the language's vocabulary is of Slavic origin. However, there is also a substantial amount of words which are of clear [[wikipedia:Armenian language|Armenian]] and [[wikipedia:Georgian language|Georgian]] origin. In addition to this there are a few words that have come from Arabic and the Turkic languages. For example, "''{{cd|ӄаўа}}''" ("''qawa''", "coffee") is from [[wikipedia:Arabic language|Arabic]] and "''тил''" ("''til''", "language") comes from [[wikipedia:Old Turkic language|Old Turkic]].
