Koran Karachay-Balkar language version

The Karachay-Balkar language ([Къарачай-Малкъар тил, Qaraçay-Malqar til] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) or [Таулу тил, Tawlu til] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a Turkic language spoken by the Karachays and Balkars. It is divided into two dialects: Karachay-Baksan-Chegem, which pronounces two phonemes as /tʃ/ and /dʒ/, and Balkar, which pronounces the corresponding phonemes as /ts/ and /z/. The modern Karachay-Balkar written language is based on the Karachay-Baksan-Chegem dialect. The language is closely related to Kumyk.[2]
