Over twenty-eight nationalities live in the Caucasus, speaking over fifty languages and dialects. They vary from large nationalities like the Armenians and Chechens, with many native speakers, to tiny Dagestan mountain groups like the Rutuls, with 15,000 native speakers, and the Tsez, with only half that number.
