into three dialects – Bezhta Proper, Tlyadal and Khocharkhotin – which are spoken in various villages in the region. Its closest
linguistic relatives are Hunzib and Khwarshi. Bezhta is unwritten, but various attempts have been made to develop an official
orthography for the language. The Bezhta people use Avar as the literary language. The first book ever printed in Bezhta was
