WP Former Countries - Things to do:

[edit] Georgian view

I understand that some Georgian sources question or even deny the existence of the Abkhazian SSR. I welcome any person with more information (read: sources) to add this to the article.sephia karta 22:35, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Official language

Look here at the extracts from the 1921 constitution of Abkhazia (chapter 2, article 6). For those unfamiliar with Russian I can translate it:

6. The language of the state institutions (государственных учреждений) is Russian. Note. All the peoples that inhabit Abkhazia have the right to freely develop and use their native languages both in their ethnic-cultural (национально-культурных - hard to translate) and in state institutions.

6. Языком государственных учреждений ССР Абхазии признается язык русский. Примечание: Всем населяющим ССР Абхазия национальностям обеспечивается право свободного развития и употребления родного языка как в своих национально-культурных, так и общегосударственных учреждениях.

So, strictly speaking, Russian was the only official language, however other languages have (per Constitution) basically the same rights. Alaexis 07:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, ok. It's probabky best then to readd Abkhaz (and possibly Georgian), possibly with a footnote to explain the matter. sephia karta 15:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Alaexis 15:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
