Textbook and workbook
A gradual A0–A2 course, then B1. Dialogues, short texts, exercises, answer keys, and a dedicated section on typical learner errors.
The Abkhaz Language
A modern course built from zero for Russian-speaking learners: a textbook, native-speaker audio, a dictionary, a text corpus, and a digital platform.
The methodology, corpus foundation, and first module frameworks are ready. Course texts will appear only after native-speaker review.

Not just another textbook
One integrated learning system
Scholarly materials on Abkhaz exist, but they are scattered and written mostly for specialists. We are building a clear path for a learner with no language environment: from the first sound to independent dialogue.
Native-speaker audio
Phonetics, minimal pairs, words, and dialogues at slow and natural tempo. Every recording passes a language review.
Dictionary, corpus, and website
A frequency-based core vocabulary, verified examples, search, interactive exercises, and — later — a constrained AI tutor.
Progress in the open
What is already done
We do not hide the project behind promises. Methodology, rights, sources, and the production process live in open documents. The public course will appear only after review by native speakers and academic editors.

People we need
Who we are looking for
The next step is not another document — it is a team able to verify the language and record living speech. You can start with a single consultation or one small block of work.
Native speakers and teachers
Reviewing dialogues, everyday formulas, register, and naturalness. Male and female voices are needed for recording.

Become a consultant →Archives, media, and institutions
We need rights-cleared texts, fragments of living speech, corpus data, pilot venues, and institutional support.

Project documents
Not a promo deck — the actual working base: plan, methodology, rights, and review protocols. Documents are currently in Russian.
A language survives when people start speaking it again
