Ubykh actually has 26 fricative phonemes, and thus outstrips Kabardian by 4. I'll change this in the article. thefamouseccles 00:27 27 March 2004 (UTC)
Who edited this page last? Most linguists, and the Kabardians themselves, accept that Kabardian is a different language from Adyghe; for a start, Kabardian only has two phonemic vowels, whereas Adyghe has three. Have a look at [1], the Ethnologue entry. Both are part of a Circassian subfamily, but I and others would argue strongly that Kabardian and Adyghe are not the same language. I'm changing this back until I hear from this author, and will add some detail to this page soon. thefamouseccles 05:01, 02 Mar 2005 (UTC)
