Adyghe (Circassian) Etiquette

Adyghe Khabze (Xabze) is in an orally transmitted rigid and complex code in which customs and social norms were enshrined. This system of morals had evolved to ensure that strict militaristic discipline was maintained at all times to defend the country against the many invaders who coveted Circassian lands. In addition, social niceties and graces greased the wheels of social interaction, and a person's good conduct ensured his survival and prosperity. The Khabze served as the law for ad hoc courts and councils set up to resolve contentious cases and other moot issues, and pronounce binding judgements. This code did not remain static throughout the ages. It was reformed and developed at some points in Circassian history, when two factors obtained: preponderance of outdated practices and the appearance of a charismatic personage to effect the transformation. The first instance of this kind in recorded history was in the 16th century, when Prince Beslan (Beislhen) Zhankh'wetoqwe, nicknamed 'Pts'apts'e' (The Obese), modified the structure of the peerage system and updated the Khabze. Two centuries later, the legendary Zhebaghi Qezenoqwe (1684-1750), the quintessential fighter for justice in Circassian folklore, played a pivotal role in modernizing the code and removing outdated customs and practices, though he is sometimes erroneously accredited with originating it. He was an accomplished statesman by the standards of the time, being responsible for formulating Kabardian policies with respect to the Crimean Khans and their overlords, the Ottomans. One of his notable achievements was his counsel to Prince Aslenbek Qeitiqwe and manoeuvres to avert a war with Khan Saadat-Gery who attacked Kabarda in 1720 to avenge the destruction of the Tatar army in 1708 at Qenjalischhe. Stories of Zhebaghi's wisdom and sagacity are still very much alive in national memory. In one anecdote, he was asked about the difference between truth and falsehood. He enigmatically replied that only four fingers separated them. He lifted up his hand and placed four fingers between his eye and ear, and said, 'Everything your eye sees is true, and all that you hear is false, for no one tells the truth the way he sees it.' The most recent reform was made in 1807, when a group of Circassian judges and scholars, with the blessing of the nobility, amended and updated some articles of the law.

The 14th Circassian Cavalry Squadrom (Escadron Tsherkess) of the Free French Army

The Circassian people are an ethnic group from the North Caucasus in modern-day southern Russia. 159 years ago, the Russian army committed many atrocities against the Circassian people, leaving many of them exiled from their homeland. Large numbers of the remaining population now live in small communities across the world mainly in Turkey and Jordan.

Circassian meet every year during May 21st as a symbolic memorial day to pay respects to those that were killed.

Circassian Genocide Protest held in New York City on 05/21/09

Russia has started to released shows on their state-funded and operated television channels to hopefully spread misinformation about the Circassian issue. Here is a translated version of the show which is a good example of how they are willing to lie to cover up the truth.

"The Circassians historically inhabited the whole northwestern Caucasus, including the Black Sea coast. During the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the nineteenth Century, the Circassians were exterminated and deported from their homeland to the Ottoman Empire on a mass scale. An estimated 90 percent of the Circassian population was killed, died of artificially imposed hardships or were sent into exile. After Moscow won the right to hold the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, which was once Circassian land, the Circassian diasporas worldwide and in the North Caucasus started to campaign to attract the world's attention to their plight. One of the principal demands of the Circassians is for Moscow to affirm the right of the exiles' descendants to return to their historic homeland in the North Caucasus. So far, the Russian government has been very reluctant to allow any sizable immigration of the Circassians."

Circassians created elegies and sang about every single aspect of life. About heroes, warriors, legends, nature, suffering, etc. As it’s also already clear from the two previous posts.

The word for “Elegy” in Circassian is “Ghibze” which literally translates to “language of crying”. Minstrels would engage in the practice of lamenting through elegies that resounded with tales of sorrow, history, and culture specific to the Circassian people.

This specific Ghibze is about Murat Wezi, against Russian despotism. Written by the great Circassian poet and bard Bechmirze Pasch’e (1859-1936), it relates the heroic story of Murat Wezi (real first name “Toqw”; born in 1858 in the village of Qaledes, near Georgiyevsk in the north of Kabarda, now in the Stavropol Krai), the intrepid Circassian abrek (абрздж; abrej; protector of the weak and poor), and his struggle against tyranny in the period of Tsarist Russia’s occupation of Circassia. He managed to escape many times from the clutches of the Tsarist invaders, despite perfidious tip-offs. One account tells of his emigration to Turkey, where he lived until his death. Another version has him exiled to Siberia, whence he never comes back.

- I know it’s not the best translation, but did anything to translate it as accurate as possible.

- Gwmqale (Пумкьалз) is a town (nowadays called “Georgievsk”) situated on the Kuma River (Tyм in Circassian) in (Greater) Kabarda to the northeast of Bgiytxw (6гитxy; Pyatigorsk).

(Resources gathered from the works of the late Amjad Jaimoukha)

Черкесы создавали элегии и пели о каждом аспекте жизни. О героях, воинах, легендах, природе, страданиях и т.д. Как это также уже ясно из двух предыдущих постов.

Слово, обозначающее “элегию” по-черкесски, - “Гибзе”, что буквально переводится как “язык плача”. Менестрели практиковали оплакивание с помощью элегий, в которых звучали рассказы о скорби, истории и культуре, характерных для черкесского народа.

Этот конкретный Гибзе посвящен Мурату Вези, выступающему против российского деспотизма. Написанная великим черкесским поэтом и бардом Бехмирзе Пашье (1859-1936), она повествует о героической истории Мурата Вези (настоящее имя “Токв”; родился в 1858 году в селе Каледес, недалеко от Георгиевска на севере Кабарды, ныне в Ставропольском крае), бесстрашного черкесского абрека (абрздж; абредж; защитник слабых и бедных) и его борьба против тирании в период оккупации Черкесии царской Россией. Ему много раз удавалось вырваться из лап царских захватчиков, несмотря на вероломные наводки. В одном из рассказов рассказывается о его эмиграции в Турцию, где он жил до самой своей смерти. По другой версии, его сослали в Сибирь, откуда он никогда не возвращался.

- Я знаю, что это не самый лучший перевод, но сделал все, чтобы перевести его как можно точнее.

- Гвмкале (Пумкялз) - город (ныне называемый “Георгиевск”), расположенный на реке Кума (Тым по-черкесски) в (Большой) Кабарде к северо-востоку от Bgiytxw (6gitxy; Пятигорск).
