Ossete...
"Ossete is spoken by about 350,000 people in the North Ossete
Autonomous Republic (Capital, Dzhaujikau) of the Soviet
Union, and in the South Ossete Autonomous Region of the
Georgian Republic.   The Ossetes are believed to be the descen-
dants of the Asioi mentioned in the Geography of Strabo, and
possibly were the Alans of the Medieval Period.   Ossetia was
annexed by Russia in the early 19th century.   Speakers of Ossete,
an Iranic tongue related to Persian, and of the related Tat,
Talysh, and Tadjiki languages, are surrounded by speakers of
Caucasian tongues.   There are two main dialects in use: the
Western (Digor), and more important Eastern (Tagaur).   The
literary usage is based upon the Eastern dialect."
