The database includes linguistic material in several languages: Georgian (both Old and Modern Georgian) and Megrelian/Mingrelian, and the Northwest Caucasian languages Kabardian (East Circassian) and Adyghe (West Caucasian). Cf. Map of the Caucasian languages.

The material is presented only in transliteration of the original scripts. The material is provided both with morpheme translation and translation into English.

The linguistic material in the database has been taken from published articles and books - full versions in pdf-format, click here.

Differences found between the material presented in the sources and in the database

In certain cases the analysis given in database does not in all details coincide with the analysis presented in the published materials.

• Some abbreviations have been changed in order to unify the name of the category that was presented with different names in different articles.
• Some abbreviations have been changed in order to differentiate the name of different categories that were presented with one and the same  label in different articles.
• In some cases,  zero markers (e. g. present tense marker in Kabardian, the nominative case marker after stems ending in certain vowels in Georgian etc.) have been added to the analyzed forms.
• The morpheme analysis of Georgian verbs and, partly, of nominals, presented in database, is made particularly for this database.
• Some small inaccuracies in the published material have also been corrected.
