Historical locations of Circassian tribes

The majority of the Besleney live in the valley of Bolshaya and Malaya Laba Rivers in the Northwest Caucasus, and on the bank of Urup.[2] They also extend to the valleys of Chetem, Fars, Psefir, Kuban (Western Circassia). By character and culture besides the language, the Besleney are closest to Kabardians.[3] The noble families of the Besleney were: Kanoko and Shaloho, ancestors of Beslan, the son of legendary Prince Inal.[4]

Language

See also: Besleney Kabardian dialect

The Besleney people speak the Besleney sub-dialect (Template:Lang-ady) of Kabardian Adyghe dialect (East Circassian). However, because the Besleney tribe lived at the center of Circassia, the Besleney dialect also shares a large number of features with dialects of West Adyghe dialect. Like the Adyghe Shapsug sub-dialect, there exist a palatalized voiced velar plosive [ɡʲ], a palatalized voiceless velar plosive [kʲ] and a palatalized velar ejective [kʲʼ], which were merged to [d͡ʒ], [t͡ʃ] and [t͡ʃʼ] in other Circassian dialects.[5] The Besleney dialect also have an alveolar lateral ejective affricate [t͡ɬʼ], which corresponds to an alveolar lateral ejective fricative [ɬʼ] in most other varieties of Circassian.[6] The Besleney dialect have a voiceless glottal fricative [h] that corresponds to [x] in other Circassian dialects.[7]
