The Worldwide Map
Every light is a real city where Circassians open the app; gold marks the homeland. Find your city, see who is near you, and put yourself on the map.
Real cities, straight from the app's worldwide map.
The Community
Wherever the diaspora reaches, there's someone here. Chat, call, share and make friends across every country Circassians call home.
Inside The App
A whole Circassian world in your pocket: the community, the language in both Kabardian and Adyghe, and the culture behind them.
The Course
Over 4,000 words and phrases across both dialects, with spaced repetition that brings each one back right before you would forget it.
New · Audio Course
A full audio course, right in the app: 31 lessons in each dialect that get you speaking out loud, not just listening. Narrated in English, Russian or Turkish, and it keeps playing with the screen off: in the car, on a walk, at the gym. The first lessons are free.
Сэтэней-гуащэ · AI tutor
AI Tutors
Two AI tutors live in your chats, one for each dialect. Write in any language: they answer in real Circassian with a translation, and speak their replies out loud so you hear the pronunciation. Conversation practice at 2 a.m.? They are awake.
Availability
Nalchik, Istanbul, Amman, Berlin, New York. The whole app, community and course alike, works in all three languages of the diaspora.

Real reviews from the App Store.
It’s an amazing app. Not only am I learning Circassian, but I’ve also met so many Circassian people through it.
Лучшее приложение для изучения родного языка, у которого нет конкурентов с таким же качеством.
Бзэр хабзэм и бзыпхъэщ, ди бзэм зыкъедывгъэщ1эж!
Written in Kabardian: “Language is the pattern of our customs. Let us bring our language back!”
Emeği geçen herkesi kutluyorum, gerçekten faydalı ve güzel yapılmış.
Спасибо большое за идею сохранения языка в виде игры.

About The Language
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.
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.
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.
The app now goes beyond lessons. A full Circassian audio course — 31 lessons per dialect, narrated in English, Russian or Turkish — teaches you to speak hands-free, in the car or on a walk. And the AI tutors Кызбеч and Сэтэней answer in real Circassian with translations and spoken voice replies, whenever you want to practice.
