About The Language

Learn Circassian — Kabardian & Adyghe — in one app.

The Circassian App is the most complete way to learn Circassian on your phone. The app teaches both Kabardian (Eastern Circassian) and Adyghe (Western Circassian), the two main branches of the Circassian language. Our courses teach the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar you need to speak with Circassians anywhere in the world.

Start with the Circassian alphabet (60 letters in Kabardian, 66 in Adyghe), learn real greetings and conversation, build vocabulary with flashcards, and test yourself with quick quizzes. Every word is recorded by native Circassian speakers so you hear the real language, not a robot.

Beyond language, the app is a full Adyghe Xabze course, the ancient unwritten code of honor that has shaped Circassian life for centuries: hospitality, respect, warrior ethics and daily conduct.

Why learners pick the Circassian App

It's free and works on iOS and Android. You can start the full Circassian / Adyghe / Kabardian course without an account and without paying a cent; a free account only syncs your progress and opens up the community. Premium is only for unlimited hearts, not for content.

Made for the Circassian diaspora

Whether you're in Nalchik, Istanbul, Amman, Berlin or New York, the app works in English, Russian and Turkish, the three main languages of the Circassian diaspora. It is also where the diaspora meets: a community of Circassians you can chat with, call, and befriend while you learn.
