Tabasaran - Lead paragraph

Ethnologue: Languages of the World (stylized as Ethnoloɠue) is an annual reference publication in print and online that provides statistics and other information on the living languages of the world. It was first issued in 1951, and is now published annually by SIL International, a U.S.-based, worldwide, Christian non-profit organization. SIL's main purpose is to study, develop and document languages for religious purposes and to promote literacy.

Tabasaran (also known as Ghumghum, Tabasarantsy, or Tabassaran) is a language spoken in the Northeast Caucasians. It is spoken by the Tabasaran people in the southern most part of Russia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan. It is also one of the official languages in Dagestan. Right now, there are around 94,000 ethnic speakers world wide. There are two primary dialects of Tabasaran, they are the North Khanag and South Tabasaran. It is endangered. Tabasaran is no longer used in in formal institutions, however, children still learn in in their homes.
