The Caucasus was runner-up in my patron poll, and then it won in the rematch. So, it's time we travel to this mountainous region and explore its complicated linguistic situation.

We go through major languages, family by family, briefly meeting Indo-European languages like Armenian and Kurdish, Turkic ones like Azeri, and even a Mongolic tongue named Kalmyk Oirat. Then, we see how linguists draw a line between "languages of the Caucasus" and the indigenous "Caucasian languages".

The Caucasian languages fall in three families: Northeast Caucasian, Northwest Caucasian, and Kartvelian in the south. Explore some of their intriguing features, including massive numbers of consonants and one of the earliest documented examples of something called "ergativity".

Despite some similar features, these languages don't belong to the same family. In fact, they may not even be a true "linguistic area"!

At the end, we're still left with the question: why so many languages? We'll consider how one linguist looks at the relationship between geography and the lives of language families.

9-е февраля сего года вместе с Риадом и Сарией Абдельраззак (Riad Abdelrazzak and Saria Abdelrazzak) и Мухаммедом Мельхемом (Mohammad Melhem) я выехал в город Минья, что находится в Ливане. Мы все искали следы черкесской истории. Истории пребывания адыгов, абхазов, абазин и убыхов в этой ближневосточной стране. А были наши соотечественники здесь ещё при мамлюках.
Мы глядели на бывшие черкесские улицы, обжитые в наше время арабами. Мы долго искали и, наконец, нашли территорию «Черкесского кладбища». Оно и сегодня так называется. Однако уже на кладбище мы долго искали могилы самих черкесов. Больно на душе и тревожится сердце за современных ливанских черкесов. Готовы ли адыгские республики России вместе с Абхазией помочь местным черкесам? Примут ли они программы по развитию связей с этой частью черкесской диаспоры? Не скажут ли на Кавказе, что «спасение утопающих – дело рук самих утопающих»? В YouTube уже вопрошают так называемые анонимы, косящие под «черкесов», мол, какие они черкесы, живущие в Ливане? И какова моя цель? Какова цель Абхазии?
Запомните: Абхазии в этом проекте нет. Никто в Абхазии мой проект не финансирует. Данный проект – это чисто гуманитарная и культурная программа, начатая двумя настоящими патриотами абхазо-адыгских народов. С мая месяца интернет пестрит новыми видеозаписями, который войдут в золотой фонд видео черкесского и абхазо-абазинского народов. Но никто из миллиардеров наших так и не откликнулся на этот проект. Они по любому не могут не интересоваться черкесскими делами. Но жаба душит их и им всё мало. Тем временем, период финансирования подходит к концу и через месяц проект будет завершён.
Побывав на тех могилах черкесов в Ливане и проанализировав нашу историю, я пришёл к выводу, что все самые достойные, за некоторым минимальным исключением, находятся в могиле. А у нас нет силы воли. Что бы мы отныне ни делали, нам не возродиться. Мы вот так, худо-бедно, будем доживать своё время. И когда-нибудь наступит момент, когда мы бесславно исчезнем. Вы хотите мир, где черкесы, абхазы и абазины ненавидят друг друга? Когда они завидуют друг другу по-чёрному. Когда они нанимают киллеров, чтобы убить друг друга. Когда они просырают миллионы и миллиарды в казино. И когда они в наркотическом угаре не знают, что творят. Кто не понимает моей миссии, тому Бог судья. А сейчас мы вместе смотрим видео из Ливана…

Join me, Said Ishak, on a fascinating artistic journey as I recreate the life and atmosphere of a Circassian village from the 1940s. In this video, I take you through the process step by step, from the initial sketch to the final brushstroke.
Witness how I capture the essence of this unique cultural heritage, bringing to life the architecture, landscapes, and spirit of the Circassian community of the past.
Whether you're an art lover, a history enthusiast, or someone fascinated by Circassian culture, this painting process is sure to engage and inspire.

About This Release:

BodyMoves returns under the moniker Enver Goyken for his second full length beat tape on London-based label Shapes of Rhythm. Ozan (meaning travelling wise poet in Turkish) is a 21-track exploration of the Turkish side of his heritage, and the alias which is his birth name. Enver's biological dad was from Istanbul, and unfortunately the beat-maker didn't have a relationship with him for most of his life. When he died in 2016, BodyMoves was advised to use his passion for music to explore Turkiye and its culture as part of the grieving process, and to better understand that part of who he is.
"Amongst other things, my biological dad was a musician who first played a part in Turkish rock n roll history, and then as a producer who pioneered modern studio set ups in Turkey, so perhaps I was always going to be obsessed by music myself"
"As a beat maker, my dive into Turkish music inevitably led to identifying samples in the music I was digging into, and although it's been quite a long process, it has resulted in this beat tape project coming together."
Alongside digging into the musical side of Turkiye's culture, it also presented an opportunity to explore thousands of years of history as the bridge between East and West. It's for this reason that the tracklisting reads like a history lesson, referencing famous people and places across time, from archaeological sites and ancient statues to empires, Sultans, armies and tribes of people.
The music on Ozan is loosely framed around hip hop but is unrestricted by tempo. Using his trusty SP404 (championed by people like Ras G and Madlib), and a stack of records and historical references these are raw, raw beats and grooves. The departure from 2017's Cariño beat tape is that here there is a much more global approach to the sound sources. The opener Göbekli Tepe welcomes you in with an introductory stringed instrument fanfare before a whirlwind of polyrhythms move around a swinging, unquantised beat.
Urfa Man quickens the tempo with hand percussion samples and urgent vocal chants and calls, whilst a bassline moves nimbly around joined by a lush Rhodes line. Achaemenid is a lower affair, underpinned by a repetitive dusty piano sample and clacking wooden percussion. In classic BodyMoves style the duration is short but the ideas within it are many. Constantine I is all woozy sub bass and neck-snapping snares, whilst a hypnotic set of hand drums work their way through your brain. Sasanian is a complete assault on the senses with its swirling effects and minimal percussion.
Byzantium is the beat tape's longest and possibly grooviest track, led by a bassline and a reflective keyboard sequence. İznik is another track underpinned by Rhodes and punctuated by an urgent, looped up vocal hook.

Staying true to beat tape tradition Ozan is released on limited white cassette (and digital) with extensive contextual and historic liner notes plus map. Limited to 75 copies.
