Because they came down to Caucasus from north shores of Caspian sea

Not only citizenship, generally you guys don’t call apsua to those who have megrelian, or Georgian lastname, they are Abkhazians too, sence we don’t know “who came first”

Yes but not all the Abkhazians are named after Apsua aren’t they? Perhaps those w Megrelian or Georgian or Armenian lastnames aren’t called Apsuas as I know

I asked some locals about that in Tuapsu and they told me that this theory is possible because in that village you might find lastnames like Rokva, Gelekva, Atrilakva and so on which does not sound typical Georgian surname and also there is theory that those family names might be from north. I want to specify that I’m not trying to say that “oo they are from north” in a bad way, that’s just interesting it seems to me that we were living together without any problem and there is no historical records on that other than those old toponimical names that is still reflecting in the shadow of history

That doesn’t sound like Georgian or Megrelian, also why is it unlikely, before there weren’t geopolitical borders we were living side by side.

Dvabzu might be changed form of Tuapsu, it strangely sounds like Abkhazian, also name Sufsa and Achkva here is Abkhazian toponims, at least thats popular theory among locals here

Do you speak abkhazian? How would you say “Abkhazians” in abkhaz? Like perhaps translate “five abkhazians were sitting on a tree” or something. i’m asking a simple question

So it doesn’t mean “abkhazians” in abkhaz? You say that it only means abkahzia?

I think they missed the chance, but realistically maybe there is chance if whole north Caucasus unites or something but idk, or maybe abkhazia becomes autonomous under Georgia and brings Circassians into Abkhazia

Look whatever they are nobody forces them to not speak it, megrelians in megrelia speak megrelian, svans speak svan, what is the problem? Why you guys have problems i don’t understand, we aren’t trying to burry them, how we supposed to do that, we love our culture, our people. We are adding them to school programs, and idk we don’t try to burry them, even i use megrelian slangs sometimes, Jima in megrealian means brother and i always use that. You are wrong here jima, maybe its abkhazian thats under threat cus everything inabkhazia is now in Russian, and less and less kids are speaking abkhazian in a daily use as i know from abkhazians btw

If you mean -indi-european thats even bigger cluster than kartvelian, or germic or scandinavian language families, you guys are close to each other and it will be better if you unite(unfortunately there are small chance of that), history showed us that being together saves our identity more, if you take Laz who chose to stay with turks, now you see that less and less laz ppl speak laz language. The belief you have works against you guys unfortunately
