Ubykh

Ubykh was a language once spoken by the Ubykh people in the Caucasus region, particularly along the Black Sea coast. It belonged to the Northwest Caucasian language family, known for its complex consonant system and relatively simple vowel structure. Ubykh is notable for its phonetic richness and unique sound patterns. Sadly, the language became extinct in the 20th century due to cultural and political changes, with the last native speaker passing away in the 1990s. Today, Ubykh is studied by linguists interested in Caucasian languages and language diversity, preserving its legacy through recordings and research.
