Tsakhur (Azerbaijani: Saxur dili; Russian: Цахурский язык, romanized: Tsakhursky yazyk) is a Lezgic language spoken by the Tsakhurs in northern Azerbaijan and southwestern Dagestan (Russia). It is spoken by about 11,700 people in Azerbaijan and by about 10,600 people in Russia.[1] The word Tsakhur derives from the name of a Dagestani village where speakers of this language make up the majority.
Although Tsakhur is endangered in communities in closest contact with Azerbaijani, it is vigorous in other communities, gaining prominence in the region, seen in the growth of interest in learning Tsakhur in school and a growing body of Tsakhur-learning materials.[2] Tsakhur is classified as "definitely endangered" by UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.[3]
