북캅카스 아드게이어 정체성 연구

Abstract

This article aims to research how Adyg language(Circassian language) and its users, who were one language, came to this day by considering them as separate languages and ethnicities, and what status Adyghe language actually holds in the Republic of Adygea, and what the language situation of the Republic of Adygea is. The Circassians(Adygs) of the Caucasus, which has a long history, have changed their ethnic names to the present Adygea, Kabarda, and Cherkess as they have been forced to move to Turkey due to religious and ethnic oppression or have been dispersed into national relocation policies during the Soviet period since the merger of the Caucasus region into the Russian Empire in the early 19th century. It is divided into Cherkess and defined as the language of the three republics, but it is not given any status in other residential areas. In this study, I knew the names Adygea and Adyghe language resulted from the artificial border setting of the Soviet Union and the national dispersion caused by forced migration. In particular, the Republic of Adygea is a enclave republic in the Russian-speaking region of Krasnodar, the Adygeans do not occupy a majority and are less than half of Russians, and the various types of Russian fairy tale policies are concentrated.
