To the problem of distincting the Dargin languages and dialects

The paper deals with the status problems of the Dargin languages and dialects belonging to the Nakh-Dagestan group of languages. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that this issue has not yet received its unambiguous solution, and there is also no final classification of the Dargin languages. It is proposed to solve these and other problems through the complex use of the lexicostatistical method and in combination with the identification of grammatical differences existing between different Dargin idioms.
