Kubachi (гӀугъбуган)

Kubachi is a Northeast Caucasian language spoken by about 7,000 people in the east of the Dakhadayevsky District in the south of the Republic of Dagestan in the southwest of the Russian Federation. In particular, it is spoken in the villages of Kubachi, Amuzgi and Shari in the Dakhadayevsky District, and also in the Khasavyurtovsky District. It is considered a divergent dialect of Dargwa by some, and a separate language by others.

There are two dialects of Kubachi: Kubachi proper, which is spoken in the Dakhadayevsky District, and Sulevkent, which is spoken in the Khasavyurtovsky District.

Kubachi can be written with the Cyrillic alphabet, and there are a few books in the language. One book about Islam in Kubachi written in the Arabic script was published in 1913.

Translation

Our father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
