From other pages on the internet, it looks as if a second part of the native name (бызшәа) of this language has been skipped: [1], [2], [3]. However I also found one page using one word: [4]. Anyone know something about this, comments? --Dittaeva 17:38, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I put it in there, I must have goofed, sorry. Feel free to put the second word in there. Just remember to make it into Unicode entity codes for people that have problems with Cyrillic. (Yes, I do see the difference between aṗsua and aṗsua byzš˚a, don't try to tell me I have seeing problems.) Wikiacc 20:36, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The second part (бызшәа) is just the Abkhazian word for "language"; either form is OK. :) thefamouseccles 04:55, 02 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Classification

I removed Dene-Caucasian from the genetic classification part of the table and instead moved mention of it to the body of the article; Dene-Caucasian is an unproven and controversial hypothesis and the basic description of the language should reflect current mainstream opinion.

Yes, you are completely right. It was added by Nixer, who believes that this fringe theory should be accepted as mainstream. --Gareth Hughes 11:43, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Word order?

Does anyone know the basic word order of Abkhaz?
