Черкеський (Cherkessky) refers to the culture, language, and people of the Circassians, an ethnic group native to the North Caucasus region. The Circassians have a rich history and are known for their unique traditions, music, and dance. Their language belongs to the Northwest Caucasian language family and has several dialects. The Circassians have faced significant historical challenges, including displacement and assimilation, particularly during the Circassian Genocide in the 19th century. Today, many Circassians live in various countries, including Turkey, Jordan, and Russia, where they strive to preserve their cultural heritage and identity.
