Dagestan peoples

Japanese: ダゲスタン諸族 - ダゲスタンしょぞく
Dagestan peoples
The term refers to some of the peoples living in the Caucasus region, and is used in two different senses. One refers to the peoples who speak the Dagestani language group of the Caucasian languages, and the other refers to the indigenous peoples living in Dagestan, including the Kumyks and Nogais who speak Turkic languages. Dagestan had a population of 1,444,000 (1989). Christianization progressed mainly in the southern part of the region, thanks to the efforts of the ancient Caucasian Albanian Kingdom and the medieval Georgian Kingdom, but by the 16th century, Sunni Islam had become the predominant faith.

Japanese:
カフカス地方に住む諸民族の一部をいい,二つの意味に用いられる。一つはカフカス諸語のうちのダゲスタン語群に属する諸言語を用いる民族を指し,他の一つはダゲスタンに住む土着の諸民族の総称で,この場合はチュルク語系の言語を話すクミク人,ノガイ人を含み,人口144万4000(1989)を数える。古代のカフカス・アルバニア王国,中世グルジア王国の努力で南部を中心にキリスト教化が進んだが,16世紀までには,イスラムのスンナ派の信仰が圧倒的になった。
