“…By applying the rules for umlaut that are characteristic of the Plains dialect (see the survey in 3.3), the attested forms can be generated almost without exception. The Ingush verbal system is simpler (Nichols 2004(Nichols :555, 2011 Classes XI-XIII also had a root vowel *a, but the following glide influenced the vowel to such a degree that it obscured any influence which the present ending may have had: *aw > *ow irrespective of labial umlaut (cf. infinitive lowza < *lawz-aᶰ; the infinitive of class XII, laː, is the reason to distinguish classes XII and XI); and *aj > ej irrespective of palatal umlaut (cf.…”

In this article, the adaptation of borrowed nouns into Tsova-Tush, an endangered Nakh language spoken in Georgia, is described in terms of phonology, morphology and in particular gender assignment. It is shown that Tsova-Tush features a large number of borrowed nouns (44% of a representative wordlist, similar to percentages for other Caucasian languages in Haspelmath & Tadmor (2009)), the vast majority being from Georgian origin. Furthermore, it is shown that borrowed nouns follow the same complex set of semantic and phonological tendencies when it comes to assigning their gender as native nouns do, which in line with Corbett (1991). Finally, it is observed that one of the genders had stopped being productive.

Linguistic Diversity in the Caucasus

The Caucasus is characterized by a relatively high level of linguistic diversity, whether measured in terms of number of languages, number of language families, or structural properties. This is in stark contrast to low levels of linguistic diversity in neighboring areas (Europe, the Middle East), although the Caucasus does not reach such high levels of linguistic diversity as are found in New Guinea. There is even a variation between greater diversity in the North Caucasus and less diversity in the South Caucasus. Illustrative structural properties show not only idiosyncratic properties of individual languages and families but also features that have spread across the boundaries separating languages and families, sometimes with variation across languages with regard to finer points of detail, although few features characterize the Caucasus as a single linguistic area. Social factors have probably played at least as important a role as has geography in the development of linguistic diversity in the Caucasus.
