To know more about the Circassian Language please visit our website: http://www.nassip.org/

For effective learning of the Circassian Language, we are using the Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling or TPRS. It's a fun and stress-free way of learning, it focuses on the most useful vocabulary and uses gestures, visual imagery, spatial memory aid, body language, and voice inflection. PLUS There are no memorized dialogues or grammar worksheets with the TPRS method.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Circassian beauties is a phrase used to refer to an idealized image of the women of the Circassian people of the Northwestern Caucasus. A fairly extensive literary history suggests that Circassian women were thought to be unusually beautiful, spirited, and elegant, and as such were desirable as concubines.
This reputation dates back to the Late Middle Ages, when the Circassian coast was frequented by traders from Genoa, and the founder of the Medici dynasty, Cosimo de' Medici, had an illegitimate son from a Circassian slave. During the Ottoman Empire and Persian Safavid and Qajar dynasties, Circassian women living as slaves in the Sultan's Imperial Harem and Shah's harems started to build their reputation as extremely beautiful and genteel, which then became a common trope in Western Orientalism.As a result of this reputation, in Europe and America Circassians were often characterised as ideals of feminine beauty in poetry and art. Cosmetic products were advertised, from the 18th century on, using the word "Circassian" in the title, or claiming that the product was based on substances used by the women of Circassia.
In consequence, most wives of several Ottoman Sultans were ethnic Circassians converted to Islam, e.g. Valide Sultans (Empress mothers), including Perestü Valide Sultan, Pertevniyal Valide Sultan, Şevkefza Valide Sultan, Tirimüjgan Valide Sultan, Nükhetseza Başhanımefendi, other important Hatuns (Ladies) and Sultans like Şemsiruhsar Hatun and Saçbağlı Sultan, Haseki sultans (chief consorts) such as Mahidevran Haseki Sultan, Hümaşah Haseki Sultan, Hatice Muazzez Haseki Sultan, and Ayşe Haseki Sultan besides numerous Başkadınefendis (most senior consorts), including Bedrifelek I, Bidar II, Kamures I, and Servetseza I as well as Kadınefendis (senior consorts) such as Bezmara VI, Düzdidil III, Hayranıdil II, Meyliservet IV, Mihrengiz II, Neşerek III, Nurefsun II, Reftaridil II, Şayan III, amongst many others, or İkbals (honoured lady consorts), most notable of them being Cevherriz II, Ceylanyar II, Dilfirib I, Nalanıdil III, and Nergis IV in addition to Gözdes (favourite lady consorts), including Dürdane I, Hüsnicenan III, Safderun IV, amongst others. The "golden age" of the Circassian beauty may be considered to be between the 1770s, when the Russian Empire seized the Crimean Khanate and cut off their slave trade in Eastern European women, which increased the demand for Circassian women in Near Eastern harems; and the 1860s, when the Russians destroyed Circassia itself.
In the 1860s the showman P. T. Barnum exhibited women who he claimed were Circassian beauties. They wore a distinctive curly, big hair style, which had no precedent in earlier portrayals of Circassians, but which was soon copied by other female performers in the United States, who became known as "moss-haired girls". This hair style was a sort of a exhibit's trademark and was achieved by washing the hair of women in beer, drying it and then teasing it. It is not clear why Barnum chose this hairstyle. It may have been a reference to the Circassian fur hat, rather than the hair.
There were also several classical Turkish music pieces and poems that praise the beauty of the "Lepiska Saçlı Çerkes" (Straight, flaxen-haired Circassian; "lepiska" refers to long blonde hair which is soft and straight, as if flatironed).

إن غاية أي مواطنٍ شركسي وحلمه يجب أن يكون إيصال صوتنا كشراكسة إلى العالم الحر الذي يسمح ويتقبل، وبأن يدافع عن تاريخنا وقيمنا، وبما أن صوتنا لا يمكن أن يصل بغير جهدٍ من جهود أبناءه المخلصين، و أنا أذكر وقبل ما يقارب الأربع سنوات أي في يناير عام 2009، بأنني ولله الحمد كنت من أوائل الأصوات التي باركت لقناة الجزيرة الوثائقيّة بإطلاق قناتها الجديدة، وقد دعوت طاقم القناة في حينها بأن يتم عمل برنامج وثائقي عن الشراكسة ونضالاتهم و مقاومة محو التاريخ الشركسي في القفقاس بشكل عام وفي سوتشي بشكل خاص و التي تتبعه آلة الدعاية الروسية وكما هو مبين في التعليق رقم (2) ، وقد عاودت الطلب ذاته في مايو عام 2010 وكما هو مبين في التعليق رقم (103)، ووفقاً للرابط المبين أدناه:
http://doc.aljazeera.net/archi....ve/2008/12/200812179
ونحن الآن في شهر حزيران 2013 ، وقد منّ علينا الله بفضله بأن قامت القناة بعمل برنامج حول أولمبياد سوتشي 2014 ومدى التزييف الممارس حول تاريخ الشراكسة في سوتشي ، بفيلم وثائقي عنوانه "شتاء الإضراب"""

فالحمد لله حمداً كثيراً، ولن نتوقف عن الدفاع عن مصالح أمتنا ولو طال الزمن.
فيجب أن تعرف الشعوب المآسي التي مرت على الشعب الشركسي وأن يتعرف على إبادته التي أستمرت 100 عام وبشكل ممنهج
The aim of any Circassian must be telling the free world about our history and values, despite it is a hard job, which needs a continuous and dedicated efforts. I can remember before nearly 4 years from now and to be precise in January 2009, that the voice of the Circassians was one of the earliest voices that congratulated the establishment of Al-Jazeera Documentary, and I urged the channel to make a documentary program about the Circassians, their glories, in addition to their resistance to preserve their traditions, history, and values, as can be clearly seen in comment number (2), and I urged them again after 1.5 years in May 2010 as can be clearly seen in comment number (103) in the following link:
http://doc.aljazeera.net/archi....ve/2008/12/200812179

Now we are in June 2013, and I want to thank God that our voices were listened by the channel; by preparing the documentary file titled "Winter of Discontent",

Thank you my God, and we will not stop to resist for the interest of our nation as much as we still alive.
All the nations should know about our tragedy and sorrow!

Iyad Youghar and Zeynel Besleney speak about the origins of the Circassian flag at the University of Warsaw in November 2022.

NOTE: Correction! from time 3:50.
"It was not David Urquhart, who delivered the Circassian flag to the Circassians.
James Bell, who travelled with John Longworth, onboard Vixen to the Circassian coast, was requested to hand it over upon arrival to the Circassians."
(After a period of time, he bade farewell to James Bell and Longworth who traveled to the Caucasus on board the steamer Vixen. After his arrival, Bill handed over a package to Nour Mohammad Haghur, saying that Prince Zan Seferbi had requested for it to be delivered to him. The package turned out to contain a piece of green silk material, embroidered in gold thread twelve gold stars and three crossed arrows. Nour Mohammad was surprised and wondered, “What is this? Is it what I think?” Bill answered, “Yes, you are right, but I do not want anyone to know that I am who brought it to you.”)
Page 274, Circassia: Born to be Free. (Thanks to Adel Bashqawi for the note.)

One of the most ancient languages of Eastern Europe, the Circassian language belongs to the Abazgi–Adyghe language isolate family. There are two written (mutually-intelligible) Circassian (aka Adyghe) dialects: Lowland Adyghe (Кӏах Адыгабзэ) and Kabardian Adyghe (Къэбэрдей Адыгэбзэ). It is much easier for the speaker of the latter to understand the former which is the dialect spoken in this video.

By the early 19th century, Russian Czars started to make a concerted effort to bring the isolate yet important region of the Caucasus under their control. They'd soon encounter various mountainous peoples of the region who were always difficult foe to subdue. A resistance movement soon developed, united under the banner of Islam, calling themselves Murids. Under a series of leaders, most famously Imam Shamil, the Murids would make Dagestan and Chechnya a graveyard for tens of thousands of Russian soldiers, as they stubbornly clung on to the hope remaining independent against an aggressive foreign outside power. In a classic tale of David vs Goliath, for over 30 years the Murids would outmaneuver the juggernaut Russian army numerous times before finally succumbing to the sad fate of defeat.

Global Circassian Initiative For May 21
Recognize the Circassian Genocide

Ask Russia where is Circassia

The Circassian Genocide has been hidden from the world. It is the first genocide of modern European history that ripped Circassians from the coasts of Circassia. For Russia to build their empire they have chosen to destroy the people of Circassia and keep their land. Millions of Circassians died at the hands of Imperialist Russia.

Now 147 years later Circassians are organizing a global initiative against the Sochi Olympic Games. Sochi was the capital of Circassia and the main port where the whole nation was annihilated and forced into exile. Krasnaya Polyana is where the Olympic main venues will be held and that is the site where Russia declared victory over Circassia 150 years earlier.

It's not just about memory it's also about the continual crimes against humanity conducted by Russia against the Circassian nation, environmental destruction of a UNESCO World Heritage site, the corruption where the Sochi Games will cost $50 billion dollars and be the most expensive in history and the annihilation of human rights in the region.

We call upon not just Circassians but to all those who feel passion for humanity.

We also ask all to call their local Russian Embassies/Consulates to ask where is Circassia.
