The geographical boundaries of the Caucasus region begin approximately from the mouth of the Volga River in the north of the Caspian Sea and the mouth of the Don River in the Sea of ​​Azov, and continue to the Kura and Aras Rivers in the south. This is while the Caucasus region is divided by the Caucasus Mountain Range into two separate parts: the North and the South. The South Caucasus today consists of three countries: Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, and the North Caucasus also includes two provinces, three provinces, and eight autonomous republics that are politically affiliated with Russia. The historical background of the people living in the Caucasus is very diverse and complex. However, the language of each of the peoples somewhat indicates the age of that people's presence in the Caucasus. Among the inhabitants of this region, the Caucasian peoples are the oldest natives of the Caucasus, and they are also considered an independent racial branch in racial types. The Caucasus is unique in the world in terms of linguistic diversity, with approximately 50 languages ​​in the small and limited region of the North Caucasus, in three Indo-European, Altaic, and Caucasian dialects, which was discussed in a conversation with Dr. Alexander Chelokhadze, head of the Oriental Studies Department at the University of Georgia and a PhD student in Persian Language and Literature at the University of Tehran.
