Caucasus in 1991: Independence wars
Caucasus is introduced through language and place in 1991, under “Independence wars.” The figure kept with that is 1991. Do not line people up as better or worse. A population figure is not a cultural score. Linguistic maps showing extreme family density.
Mountain isolation plus long settlement — not a racial museum. A discarded racial category. Do not confuse it with Caucasus peoples. Georgia’s qvevri tradition is among the world’s oldest attested wine cultures. Modern wars are political; culture pages are not scoreboards of nations.
Stuffed vegetables, breads and herb pastes cross community lines. Armenian, Georgian and others are distinct literary traditions. Anatolia; Persianate; writing-systems atlas. See diversity pages for clines — never as country-level score talk. Neolithic horizons in the wider region.
Early state Christianization traditions. Caliphates and successors contest valleys. Ethnofederal policy freezes categories. Tourism and IT scenes remake cities. Relief fragmented polities and preserved language islands. Empires taxed valleys without erasing local law everywhere. Kartvelian, Nakh-Daghestanian, Abkhaz-Adyghe and Indo-European languages neighbor.
Say Caucasus with 1991, “Independence wars,” and 1991. The figure is not a grade of people.1991
