Article about the Circassians in Jordan (German).

Sad that the young Circassians don´t speak their language anymore or not so good.
I have many Karatschai people in the family and I can speak more their language then Abaza.

well i knw circassian language but never speak it

I read that Circassians have been the Royal Hussars of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for over a Century. Moreover King will only have Circassians as his special core of Hussars and they also guard The Royal Compound.

I'm learning Circassian in its original form, and in the Sahara the indigenous language and its variants (Tamazight) have been heavily influenced by the Circassian language. Saharan accents with Circassian lilts occured as a result

Here are a few video's of Circassians in Jordan, including the Royal Hussars. Hope you enjoy.
