Morphology

Abkhasian + language

The phrase is fully compositional: 'Abkhasian' identifies the people or their associated speech variety and 'language' denotes a system of speech, so together they mean 'the language of the Abkhaz people'. This adjective+noun pattern for naming languages is cross-linguistically common and follows a standard, transparent composition that a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer.

Etymology

Abkhasian language gets its name from the people and region of Abkhazia: Abkhasian means 'from Abkhazia' and language shows it is their speech, so it means 'the language of the Abkhaz people'.
