Answer from ZAKIR SELIMOV [active]
The Lezgins (self-name: Lezgiyar) are one of the largest indigenous peoples of the Caucasus, historically living in the contiguous regions of Dagestan and Azerbaijan. According to official figures, the number of Lezghins is about 600-650 thousand people. In addition to their historical places of residence, they also live in Kazakhstan (15 thousand), Kyrgyzstan (7.5 thousand), Turkey (15 thousand) and other neighboring countries. They speak the Lezgi language, which, together with its related Tabasaran, Agul, Rutul, Tsakhur, Budukh, Kryz, Archin, Khinalug and Udi languages, belongs to the Lezgin branch of the Caucasian languages. By religion, modern Lezgins are Sunni Muslims.
From time immemorial, the Lezgin-speaking peoples have been known under the name "Lehi" (Leki), from which the modern ethnonym "Lezgi" subsequently originated. Endless wars with the Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Khazars and other conquerors made the Lezgin-speaking tribes inhabiting Caucasian Albania famous. Until now, Georgians and Armenians call Dagestanis, and especially Lezgins, "leks", Persians and Arabs - "leks". In addition, the dance "Lezginka" by the Georgians is called "Lekuri"
The Lezghin language is the language of the Lezghins and other Lezgin-speaking peoples. Refers to the Caucasian languages. Together with closely related Tabasaran, Agul, Rutul, Tsakhur, Budukh, Kryz, Archin and Udi languages, it forms the Lezgin group of Nakh-Dagestan languages. Distributed in the south of the Republic of Dagestan and in the northern regions of Azerbaijan. The number of speakers in the world is about 1.5 million people. It is the ancient language of Caucasian Albania.
There are 3 main dialects: Kyurin, Samur and Cuban. There are also independent dialects: Kurush, Giliar, Fiy and Gelkhen. The sound composition of the Lezghin language: 5 vowels and about 60 consonant phonemes. There are no voiceless lateral, no geminated consonants, there is a labial spirant "f". Power stress, fixed on the second syllable from the beginning of the word. Unlike other North Caucasian languages, it has no categories of grammatical class and gender. Nouns have case categories (18 cases) and numbers. The verb does not change in persons and numbers, a complex system of tenses and moods. The basic constructions of a simple sentence are nominative, ergative, dative, locative. The variety of types of complex sentences is noted.
P.S I am a Lezgin myself. There are good people, there are bad people, like in any other nation. In general, there are traits inherent in all Lezgins: hospitable, hardworking, principled, straightforward people. Source: opinion

Answer from Lobster[guru]
Avars, Laks, Dargins were called Leks (and Lezgins) in Georgia, that is, these are the peoples who raided Georgia. And the dance "Lezginka" is their dance and the Georgians accepted it from them. And today the dance "Lezginka" is a dance of all the peoples of Dagestan (including the Nogays and Cossacks) except for the Lezgins themselves. The problem is that the historical Lezgins (Avars, Laks, Dargins) are not at all Lezgins (Russian sources of the Kyurintsy) Kurintsy. The Kyurin khanate, the Kurin militia, the Kurin uprising are the terms of the Russian-Caucasian war. The Kyurintsy became Lezgins (the people of Kyurin working in the oil fields in Baku, even in 1900, did not know that they were "Lezgins") at the behest of the Communists.

Answer from Zalimkhan Gadzhimuradov[expert]
The Kyurin Khanate is one of the khanates and free societies, the main population of which were Lezgins. Lezgins are a modified Arabic name for leks (or lek, since the Arabs do not have the letter "k", at the end they are "zg" lezg or lakz). As for the dance, lek is translated from Lezghin as "eagle", and lezginka is the dance of an eagle. There is no such word in Avar, Dargin or Lak languages. The Lezgins knew who they were until 1900.

Hey! Here is a selection of topics with answers to your question: Who are the Lezgins, and what do you know about them, have you met with them, what kind of people?

I have already published popular statements from the forums, and now I want to continue the hike for interesting posts. Here I came across a very interesting topic- interethnic love. In this case, the Azerbaijani woman fell in love with Lezgin and asks the members of the forum for advice. Surely the girl is not calm at heart. In general, read

Hello! I am an Azerbaijani, who grew up and was brought up in the traditions of morality, way of life, family life, etc., typical for our people. I have always been committed to the idea that a family should be created with representatives of my nationality. But recently, unexpectedly for myself, she fell in love with a person. He is a Lezgin wonderful person... I would like to know the opinion of the members of the forum, preferably Lezghins, about the peculiarities of the character of a Lezghin man, about their attitude to the relationship of a Lezghin with a woman of another nationality, in general, about the family customs of Lezghins.

Not an angel

And where did he grow up? .. here? ... if yes, then, in principle, what difference can there be? ... as for relationships, this is not a question of nationality, but of a person in general, depends on his life principles, his environment , his worldview, etc., there are minor differences in customs, but where they do not exist and not enough to crush you ... character traits: .. wow)))) ... the character is often complex, but almost always they are honest, brave, daring guys))) ... so good luck

lezgins who are?

Not an angel

And they are mostly all light (light-skinned)

Merlin

purely my personal opinion ... love does not fit into the framework of nationality or mentality ... how can you conclude whether you are suitable for each other on the basis of belonging to one or another ethnic and social group?

I agree with your opinion completely. I am not going to give up my relationship due to the difference of nationalities, if it were so, it would not be worth allowing them to arise. And the opinion, by and large, is not designed to discuss serious interethnic differences, fraught with unpredictable consequences (judging by certain reviews). The interest is due only to questions of a domestic nature. I could talk about global topics in this regard, but I don’t want to.

character traits do not depend on the nation nixweiss.gif

the only thing can be more temperamental and emotional in general (although they and women have such tongue.gif)

relationship with a woman also has no nationality (((

depends on the individual in different ways

family customs are the same as throughout Kafkaz unsure.gif

zs and you, as a woman in love, should not take everything so painfully and be kinder girl.gif

Amelia

My husband has several Lezghin friends. they have similar customs and traditions

By the way, they are usually more temperamental. They are very funny, they love to joke, and yet their temper of life depends on the habitat, where it is located. If he lived in a city, then he is no different from us.

I remembered our neighbors Lezghins) we have been friends for over 50 years, yes, yes, my great-grandmother was even friends with them. They can help at any moment, and they are very benevolent) By the way, I'm talking about human qualities, and I'm not looking at his nationality))

So, the main thing is that you have complete mutual understanding, love and respect for each other, without these qualities you can't go anywhere

Panda

In my entire life, I had only 2 girlfriends - and both Lezginks ...

The only thing I can say .... A rather isolated people .. Therefore, most often they marry among themselves. There are, of course, exceptions. But these obstinacy, when a person gets used to his family-tribe from childhood and is cooked in its juice, then they are polished a little hard. What else. Yes, as already noted, men have problems with alcohol and, in general, bad habits. Apparently, after all, some kind of genetic predisposition, or is it temperament ... couples let it out like that)) .. Very hot people, quick-tempered, to give in the face - just spit)).

He did not drink, did not smoke, and was generally very family-like (in principle, and now there is, we just began to communicate less often). It was after him that I changed my opinion about the Lezgins, before that I could not stand

A people who honor traditions Let's consider this nationality in detail. Lezgins have a rather bright and explosive character. This Caucasian people have long honored the customs of hospitality, kunakism and, of course, blood feud. It is noteworthy that the correct upbringing of children plays a very important role in their culture. Surprisingly, they begin to educate the baby even when he is in the mother's womb. This is probably what distinguishes the Lezgins. Nationality has many interesting traditions... Here is one of them. - If women could not have children, that is, they were childless, they were sent to the sacred places of the Caucasus. In case of success, namely the birth of children of different sexes, the families who are friends with each other promised each other to unite their children in marriage in the future. They truly believed in the healing power of sacred sites and took such travels seriously. Some argue that this custom was formed as a result of a desire to strengthen friendships and family ties between certain families.

Ancient rituals and modern life Lezgin - what kind of nation is this? Let's consider in more detail below. Despite their small numbers, Lezgins have fairly fundamental moral standards that are associated with long traditions. Of the wedding customs, one of the most striking ones can be distinguished - the kidnapping of the bride. The most interesting thing is that this tradition was practiced both with the consent of the bride and without it. As it turned out, there was no ransom as such. For the young one, a certain payment was simply made to her parents. Perhaps today it reminds some of a purchase and does not seem entirely worthy, but practice shows that most of the locals treated this with joy and great enthusiasm. Eastern traditions of hospitality Lezgins have a special attitude towards guests and elderly people. They are shown special respect. Old people are not allowed to do difficult work, and guests are not at all allowed to do household chores, even if they urgently ask for it. Guests are given all the best: they sleep on the most comfortable bed, even if the hosts may stay overnight on the floor. Sometimes you want many peoples today to be able to better study their culture and learn from there something useful for themselves, especially in relation to how to treat guests. Today people have achieved a lot, but have lost something valuable - an understanding of the true nature of human relationships. Eastern cultures, in principle, differ from others in their special relationship to women. They have always been considered in the East as secondary members of society. Lezghin culture is no exception, but it is safe to say that, despite this situation, men have always treated Lezgins with deep respect. It was considered a great shame for the Lezghin family to raise a hand against a woman or in some other way insult her dignity.

Spiritual heritage or what is the national religion of the Lezghins? What can be said about the spiritual heritage of the ancient Lezghins? Today, most of this ethnic group professes Islam. Scientists readily admit that the religious culture of the people has not been thoroughly studied, but its roots, of course, go back to paganism and are largely intertwined with folk mythology. For example, the Lezghins still have a rather curious idea of ​​how the amazing planet Earth is located in space. They believe that it rests on the horns of Yaru Yats (Red Bull), he, in turn, stands on Chiehi Yad (translated as "Big Water"). That's pretty interesting design... Although it is somewhat contrary to scientific evidence, some believe in it quite sincerely. These were the unusual ideas about the world that the Lezghins had. The nationality, the religion of which is Islam, is quite distinctive. Folk dance, known all over the world. Some are outraged that these religious teachings are saturated with mythology and quite often contradict the generally accepted concepts of common sense. Modern life this people has largely adopted the foundations of modernity. They certainly honor traditions, but they are much less fanatical about them than before. The Lezgin national dance attracts special attention of tourists and travelers. Today there are very few people who have never heard of Lezginka. This original and fascinating dance has long been danced by the Lezgins. This nationality is quite distinctive, and the dance is proof of that. How long ago the Lezginka appeared and how old it is is not known for certain. Some suggest that it originates from ritual Caucasian dances... Lezginka is a very dynamic and full of movement dance. By the way, it was the Russians who gave it its modern name. Cheerful and cheerful music, to which this dance is performed, did not leave indifferent many famous composers. Some of them even slightly changed or interpreted the old traditional melody in a different way. - Read more on FB.ru.

Lezgins are a people who historically live in the southern regions of Turkey, Georgia, present-day Dagestan and northern Azerbaijan.

Now the number of Lezghins in the world is about 1.5 million people who always honor their traditions and do not forget about their ancestors. The Lezgin language belongs to the ancient Nakh-Dagestan language family... The main religion of the Lezghins is Islam, but only of the Sunni persuasion.

Anthropologically modern Lezgins are of the Caucasian type. The famous dance of the peoples of the Caucasus - the lezginka - is even named after them.

The most beautiful Lezginka is the Turkish-Belgian singer Hadise Achykgez.

The attitude towards the woman was very controversial. The woman enjoyed great respect in society, but at the same time she was powerless in the family, even in relation to her own children. The man treated her as a lower being, the main burden of household chores fell on her: preparing clothes, food, doing all kinds of household chores and much more. However, on this basis, it is hardly reasonable to draw a conclusion about the humiliation of a woman.

As F. Engels correctly emphasized, “the division of labor between both sexes is determined not by the position of women in society, but by completely different reasons. than our Europeans. "

The WOMAN did housework and enjoyed respect and honor among her household, although outwardly the attitude towards her was harsh. It was considered a great shame to beat a woman, insult and humiliate her in any form. The one who, contrary to custom, raised his hand against a woman, by word or action grieved her honor, covered himself with shame.

To insult a wife, and even more so to beat her, was considered a disgusting act, society turned away from such a person, such an insult was equated with a blood grievance. No matter how bleak the life of a woman is, it must be said that Lezghins rarely encounter acts of rudeness and violence against her. Beating a woman is considered a shame. If the family quarrel has reached a major disagreement, the wife goes to the parents' house and the husband starts trying to reconcile.

Non-proliferation of blood feud against her is also evidence of the exceptional position of a Lezginka woman in society. Whatever blood feud was between the names, a woman was never killed. If anyone committed such a crime, then by this he incurred the greatest contempt of society.

The most implacable enemies ended the battle if a woman, taking off her headscarf, threw it between them. So it was with other Caucasian highlanders. In the presence of a woman, indecent expressions were absolutely not allowed. To take revenge on a woman was considered a shame, unworthy of a man.

If a woman and a man walked side by side, then the woman took right side, and if two men walked with her, then - between them. In both cases, these positions were considered the most honorable. The largest number etiquette norms were associated with a woman. No matter how far the drunkenness of the feasting men reaches, no matter how cheeky the company of young people behaves, no matter how much the bitterness of those quarreling, fighting or fighting, the mere appearance of a woman curbed the brawlers, stopped and stopped the bloodshed. An ambiguous word in the presence of women, careless movement during dances, swagger in dealing with a girl caused condemnation of the whole society.
