Multilingualism in highland Daghestan throughout the 20th century
P. 75–96.
Dobrushina N.
More than 40 languages are spoken in the relatively small territory of highland Daghestan. People living in a traditional Daghestanian village often spoke two to four languages which are either genealogically unrelated or only distantly related. The linguistic repertoire may be different in two neighboring villages. Nowadays, neighboring villages with different L1 most frequently communicate in Russian, but in the recent past local languages were used for this purpose. The aim of this paper is to trace the shifts in the language repertoire that occurred in Daghestan during the 20th century. The paper uses the results of interviews conducted in 13 mountain villages of Daghestan in 2009–2013.

The papers in this thematic volume demonstrate that language policy in the post-Soviet
space and elsewhere reveals a fundamental tension that mirrors global shifts: the
conflict between state efforts to manage national identity and the organic reality of
human communication. While regional nationalization efforts often demonstrate
global patterns of securitization, the actual practices of speakers tell a different
story.
