Since the Hakuchi are considered an isolated Shapsug clan, their dialect differs little from that of the Shapsug dialect. It is also believed that Hakuchis are a blend of various Circassian tribes: Shapsug, Ubykh, Abdzakh and others. This is why Hakuchi dialect has some interesting phonetics in it.
Phonology
The Hakuchi has an uvular ejective [qʼ] and a labialized uvular ejective [qʷʼ][1] that correspond to West Adyghe and Kabardian Adyghe glottal stop [ʔ] and labialized glottal stop [ʔʷ].
