i see this mainly in dagestan and chechnya, but especially during weddings how do they get all these brand new multi-hundred thousand cars (Rolls, bentleys, maybachs etc)? especially since i heard that theres a strong poverty line there, i was thinking maybe rentals but then i saw a clip if them driving recklessly with those cars and bumping into eachother not really caring. can anyone give insight?

Hi everyone! I'm very curious about the qafa and chechen dance and don't have a lot of circassians around me to ask nor can i find information online. I live in Jordan and have heard of the "7" and "8" qafa dance where the steps are outlining the numbers 7 and 8 in arabic. What are the steps/moves? and what is the story or significance/context? also is Chechen basically "freestyling"? i hope this does not come off as offensive, I'm super interested in your culture, especially because of how well preserved it is. I find the dance captivating and reflecting the magnanimity and chivalry of the culture and history.

Use this thread to ask general questions that apply to you more than to the region.

For example, what music you like that is acceptable, what quirks or behaviours you have that are seen as offensive, if your music would be appreciated.

I was at his performance last night and he’s so chill🤣🤣

What's your opinion of the Saudi 🇸🇦🇸🇦.

Alsalam aleyikum to my chechen and ingush brothers i wanted to ask about the story of “abu kavkaz” i dont really know whats his name ive seen some edits of him on tiktok and people were speaking nonsense in russian in the comments and i got no contexts so please if anyone know about him i would truly appreciate it..

If this is true this is interesting to me because from my understanding a change in the language of education often marks the start of a major language shift such as in Victorian Ireland. Also did Koreans have any language retention post deportation?

Google had added Avar to Translate last year, along with Abkhaz, Chechen, and Ossetian. Could speakers of it speak to its quality? Barkala, wa saxłiyalda tagi 🙏 inb4 4484 frogs croaking under the bridge

What do you guys think of Pakistan and Pakistanis?

Hello!

Im currently making a YouTube video about Cirrcasian history. I was wondering if anyone either from one of the 3 Republics‚ or in the diaspora would be interesting in chatting. Thank you so much for your time and cheers.

Very similar, except for a few small percentages

Whenever I look up food from the Caucasus, I mostly see bread, meat, and cheese dishes which take a while to prepare (I’m planning to try cooking some).

But I’m curious of what do you actually and typically eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. Maybe you opt for quick non traditional food like cereal, a turkish kebab or hamburger and fries?

And what kind of cooking fat do you usually use?

I always picture you guys as being healthy. Probably thanks to the lifestyle in rural areas and the altitude overall, but still.

I’ve been wanting to get into music like Бетал Иванов и Рами Дарока. Any advice or sites to find these accordions? I’ve looked on eBay and google and can’t find one. Any help would be greatly appreciate 🙏

Hi everyone!

I recently finished painting a 1/32 scale figure of a 19th-century Caucasian highlander. I wanted to depict a rider traveling through the mountains, carrying a rolled-up green banner over his shoulder.

I was inspired by old photographs and illustrations I found online, and tried to capture the spirit of that era — especially the colors and traditional clothing. I'd love to hear your thoughts on my choice of colors, and any advice or suggestions you may have for future figures or historical accuracy.

I’ll attach some photos below. Thanks in advance!
