Ashti (Ashti: иштӀан гъай[1]) is a language or dialect that belongs to the Ashti-Kubachi group of the Dargin languages of the Northeast Caucasian language family.[2] It is spoken in the villages of Ashty and Dirbakmakhi [ru] in the south of the Dakhadayevsky District of Dagestan. In 2010, the population was estimated at 600 people, some of whom migrated to the plain.[1]

Despite the proximity of neighbouring villages of Kunki and Khuduts, their inhabitants and the inhabitants of Ashty speak different languages. It is believed that in the 13th-14th centuries, some of the inhabitants moved from the village of Anchibchi, located in the area of the present-day village of Kubachi and founded Ashty. This explains the similarity of the Kubachi and Ashty languages.[3][4]

However, the separation of Kubachi and Ashty, according to lexical statistics, should have occurred even earlier: more than a thousand years ago.[1] And about 100 years ago, the ancestors of the current inhabitants of Dirbakmakha moved from Ashty; there are no significant differences between the speech of the villages of Ashty and Dirbakmakha.[4]

Traditionally, the Kubachi language was considered a dialect of the Dargin language, and Ashty a subdialect of the Kubachi dialect. Modern researchers consider the Ashty language to be a dialect of Kubachi[4] or even a separate language related to Kubachi.[1] Kubachi and Ashty are not entirely mutually intelligible, with a shared vocabulary of approximately 89%.[1][5]
