    "title": "\"A museum of ethnology and philology\": rediscovering an early work of Caucasian linguistics",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Cyril Graham’s \nThe Avar Language\n, a treatise consisting of a linguistic description and an extensive English-Avar wordlist, originally appeared in the late nineteenth century in the \nJournal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland\n, and has been republished in the early twenty-first century in book form, with Russian translation and commentary by Boris Ataev of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Makhachkala. Welcoming Ataev’s contribution in making it accessible to the modern Russophone audience, I discuss the linguistic qualities and shortcomings of Graham’s article as well as the complex and revealing history of its composition. Engagingly written and in some respects perceptive, while in other respects outmoded even in its own time, it provides an insight into the early development of Caucasian linguistic study in the West.",
