Английская Википедия:Circassians in Iraq
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox ethnic group Шаблон:Circassians Circassians in IraqШаблон:Efn refer to people born in or residing in Iraq, that are of Circassian origin.[1] Like all Iraqis, Circassians in Iraq faced various hardships in the modern era, as Iraq suffered wars, sanctions, Шаблон:Nowrap, and civil strife.[1][2]
History
Iraqis of North Caucasus origin mainly originate from Circassia.[1] The migration of North Caucasians to Iraq goes back many centuries, peaking in the aftermath of the Шаблон:Nowrap with the Шаблон:Nowrap of the 1860s. The Circassians came to Iraq in two waves: directly from Circassia, and later from the Balkans. Chechens and Dagestanis also settled in Iraq throughout the Шаблон:Nowrap. Circassians also settled in large numbers in other neighbouring countries including Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine.[1]
Demographics
The name "Circassian" usually denotes speakers of Шаблон:Nowrap only, however in Шаблон:Nowrap the name may denote Шаблон:Nowrap in general,[1] including Chechens and Dagestanis, who speak Шаблон:Nowrap.
The overall number of Circassians or people of North Caucasus origin in Iraq is estimated to be between 30,000 and 50,000,[3] however the total number is unknown.[1][2] It has been reported that there are 30,000 Adyghe families in Baghdad alone.[1] It is understood that many Шаблон:Nowrap have ethnically assimilated into the Iraqi population, becoming Arabicized or Kurdicized.[1]
Surnames such as Al-Daghestani, Al-Shishani ("Chechen"), and Al-Sharkas ("Circassian") are common among Iraqis of Шаблон:Nowrap descent.
Population
North Caucasians have settled in all parts of Iraq, from Dohuk in the north to Basrah in the south.[1] The largest communities are in Baghdad, Sulaymaniyah, Diyala, Kirkuk, and Fallujah, with smaller communities in Najaf, Hillah, Mosul, Kut, Basrah, Tikrit, Erbil, Nasiriyah, Diwaniyah, Dohuk, Ramadi, Amarah, and Шаблон:Nowrap.[1]
There are also several Circassian villages throughout Iraq, including a neighbourhood in Baghdad.[1]
Culture
North Caucasians in Iraq have integrated into Iraqi society while preserving their traditional culture and customs, such as the Adyghe Xabze. They continue to preserve certain traditions in wedding ceremonies, birth ceremonies, and other special occasions, and to cook their traditional cuisine.[1]
In 2004, the Шаблон:Nowrap was formed in Kirkuk. This cultural organization seeks to bring together Iraqis of Шаблон:Nowrap heritage.[1] Шаблон:Nowrap can be translated as "Solidarity".
North Caucasians in Iraq are predominantly Шаблон:Nowrap like their ethnic counterparts in other countries. It is possible that a minority may also identify with Шаблон:Nowrap, the majority faith in Iraq.
Language
North Caucasians in Iraq speak a number of languages, including their native languages of either Adyghe, Chechen, or Lezgin, as well as Шаблон:Nowrap, Kurdish, or Turkmen.[1] The native languages are mainly spoken by the elder generations, with younger people usually speaking only Arabic or Kurdish, the main Iraqi languages.[1]
