Composition
It is hardly possible to determine the number of the Avar-Andean community of languages (for example, Akhvakh or Khvarshinsky) unequivocally ( problem “language or dialect” ). Inside the Andean, there is a dialectal continuum , the composition of which is estimated by experts in different ways. A similar continuum is also assumed within the Cez, although the Cez and are divided into western and eastern.
