Avar and Dargwa

Some Avar phrases and information on the language are located here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avar_language

There are nine phrases so that is a long way from Fluent Avar!!!

There is also no guide that I could locate as to vocal pronunciation.

"We" are geussing at this point.      When I get to Tbilisi I will see if

I can find a pronunciation/vocal/sound tape/C.D./DVD guide.      It

will be hard, but might become easier once I find my way around

Tbilisi.      It would be easier to find this in  Mahachkala  but it would

be dangerous to go there even if you had a $billion and an army

of armed guards.      This is also quite a few videos of Avar songs

on YouTube.com    .      These include

Али  Халаев  и  Лаура Алиева  ( = Ali Xalayev  and Laura Aliyeva )

to name only two out of many.    One can get a feeling for the language

from these, but that is not satisfactory.    It is necessary to understand

the words being sung.    I would say these people,  Avar and

Dargwa desire to be on their own and have an independent

Dagestan, free from Russian Federation control.      There is

a definite feeling of Intrigue here.
