History
The Udi language can most appropriately be broken up into five historical stages:
| Early Udi | around 2000 B.C. - 300 A.D. |
| Old Udi | 300 - 900 |
| Middle Udi | 900 - 1800 |
| Early Modern Udi | 1800 - 1920 |
| Modern Udi | 1920 - present |
The Old Udi language was spoken in an area stretching from Tavush province and eastern Artsakh in the west to the city of Qəbələ in the east, centered around the province of Utik and the town of Barda. Soon after the year 700, it had probably ceased to be used for any purpose other than as the liturgical language of the Church of Caucasian Albania.
