From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karata is an Andic language of the Northeast Caucasian language family spoken in southern Dagestan, Russia by approximately 5,000 people in 1990 according to the survey of A. Kibrik and by 6,400 people in 2006 according to the survey of Koryakov[1]. It has two dialects, Karatin and Tokitin, which are quite different.[1] Speakers use Avar as their literary language.
There are ten towns in which the language is traditionally spoken: Karata, Anchix, Tukita, Rachabalda, Lower Inxelo, Mashtada, Archo, Chabakovo, Racitl, and formerly Siux. [2]

- The glottal stop transcribed here is named rather ambiguously a "glottalic laryngeal" by the source.
- Also note that the source names the epiglottal series ″pharyngeal″ indiscriminately in all the tables, also when it includes a plosive and thus clearly isn´t a true pharyngeal.
