Karata (кӏкӏирлӏи) is an Andic language of the Northeast Caucasian language family spoken in southern Dagestan, Russia by 260 Karata in 2010. There are ten towns in which the language is traditionally spoken: Karata, Anchix, Tukita, Rachabalda, Lower Inxelo, Mashtada, Archo, Chabakovo, Racitl, and formerly Siux.[2] Speakers use Avar as their literary language.[3]
Dialects
The language has two dialects, Karatin and Tokitin, which slightly differ in phonetics and morphology but are mutually intelligible.[4] Tukita is sometimes considered a separate language.[5] There are also four subdialects; Anchikh, Archi, Ratsitl and Rachabalda.[4]
