Hakuchi (Xakuchi; Хьакӏуцубзэ [ħaːkʷʼət͡sʷəbza] Kh′ak′ucubză or Къарацхаибзэ Qaracxaibză in Hakuchi Adyghe) is a variety of the Shapsug sub-dialect of West Adyghe dialect of the Adyghe language spoken in Turkey.
Since the Hakuchi are considered an isolated Shapsugh clan, their dialect differs little from that of the Shapsugh dialect. Also it is considered, that hakuchis are a mix of fugitive circassians: shapsug, ubykh, abdzah and others. This is why hakuchi dialect has some interesting phonetics in it.
Phonology
The Hakuchi has an uvular ejective [qʼ] and a labialized uvular ejective [qʷʼ][1] that correspond to West Adyghe and Kabardian Adyghe glottal stop [ʔ] and labialized glottal stop [ʔʷ].
