MICROTOPONYMS BARTHINSKY DIALECT OF THE LAK LANGUAGE

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of Barthinsky microtoponyms in the Lak language. The material is collected and systematized during the period of dialectological practice in Dagestan State University. Some of the microtoponyms presented in the article are reflected in the works of S.M. Hajdakov, I.H. Abdullaev, M.I. Kalandarov. G.B. Murkelinsky. Microtoponyms provide a rich material for the study of the history of Dagestan, the formation of dialects on its territory, the language contacts with other Dagestani peoples. Historically, speakers of the Barthinsky dialect of the Lak language find themselves in a “foreign” language environment. All four places (Balhar, Huli, Culikani, Ulluchara Villages) are located in the Akushinsky district of Dagestan, in the place of compact residence of the Dargins.
