Dialects
Tsez can be divided into the following dialects, with their Tsez names given in parentheses:
- Asakh (Asaq)
- Tsebari (Ceboru)
- Mokok (Newo)
- Kidero (Kidiro)
- Shaytl (Ešiƛʼ)
- Shapikh (Šopix)
- Sagada (Soƛʼo)
The examples in this article are based on the Tsebari subdialect of Asakh. The Sagada dialect is notable for its divergence from the others.
Hinukh and Khwarshi were also once regarded as dialects of the Tsez language but are now commonly viewed as distinct languages of the same family.
