Jardwadjali

Jardwadjali is an extinct language isolate documented in the Middle East, specifically in the regions surrounding the Zagros Mountains. It has also been referred to as Jardi or Zardavaji.

Few reliable sources provide information about Jardwadjali's history, extent, or ethnicity spoken by its speakers. The language itself is poorly documented, and experts have not made any acknowledgment of Jardwadjali as a dialect or related variety of any better-documented language.

Despite limited research, linguists note the possible affiliation of Jardwadjali to extinct Caucasian languages, such as Colchic and Avar-Andian, given its reported phonetic and lexical characteristics. This hypothetical connection has not gained substantial support from scholars in the field of Caucasian linguistics.

Because Jardwadjali is mostly documented through non-standardized sources such as medieval texts and colonial expiriments' transcriptions, analysis of this extinct language mainly remains speculative. Present, or previous analyses involving regional languages spoken within Iran and near Georgia fail to demonstrate adequate comprehensiveness regarding descriptions of Jardwadjali syntax, thus motivating skepticism.
