Lezgins - Lezgins (English spelling)

Japanese: レズギン族 - レズギンぞく(英語表記)Lezgini
Lezgins - Lezgins (English spelling)
An ethnic group living in the eastern Caucasus region of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Dagestan, and the northern Republic of Azerbaijan. They are also spelled Lezki. Population: 466,000 (1989). They speak Lezgin, a language belonging to the Dagestani branch of the Caucasian languages. In the past, several ethnic groups in southern Dagestan were collectively referred to as Lezgins. The famous male dance Lezginka is not unique to this ethnic group. Christianity was widespread in the ancient and medieval periods, but Islamization (Sunni sect) progressed in the late Middle Ages. In the 18th century, they regularly plundered eastern Georgia and northern Azerbaijan, leaving the Iranian government at a loss as to what to do, and Georgian literature from that time is full of resentment toward them.

Japanese:
ロシア連邦カフカス東部,ダゲスタン共和国とアゼルバイジャン共和国北部に住む民族。レズキ族とも表記する。人口46万6000(1989)。カフカス諸語のダゲスタン語群に属するレズギン語を用いる。かつては南ダゲスタンのいくつかの民族がレズギンの名で総称されていた。有名な男性舞踊レズギンカも特にこの民族に固有なわけではない。古代・中世にはキリスト教が浸透したが,中世後期にはイスラム(スンナ派)化が進んだ。18世紀に彼らは恒常的にグルジア東部,アゼルバイジャン北部を略奪したため,イラン政府は対策に苦慮し,当時のグルジア文学は彼らに対する怨嗟(えんさ)に満ちている。
