Udin...
"Udin, or Udi, is spoken by about 10,000
people in the villages of
Vartashen and Nizha, in the Nukha region of the
Azerbaijan
Republic of the Soviet Union. It
is a North Caucasian language,
related to Abkhazian,
Circassian,
Chechen,
Ingush,
Tsova Tush,
Lak,
Dargwa,
Awar,
Lezgin, and other tongues of the
Caucasus
area. It has been hypothesized that the Udi are the linguistic
descendants of the Alban people, who
appear prominently in
the eastern annals of the Roman Empire. These Albans maintained
an important and productive culture from the 5th to the 10th
centuries, and then disappeared in the turmoil that swept over
the Caucasus area in the subsequent period. Tradition maintains
that St. Mesrop had prepared an alphabet and possibly a
translation of the Bible, for the Albans. The recently discovered
Alban alphabet appears to have 52 characters, including borrowed
signs from the Greek,
Armenian, and
Georgian."--1000 Tongues, 1972
