Mountain of Languages

In terms of language concentration and the number of ethnic groups per unit of area, Dagestan ranks first in the world. It is the only place on Earth where, within an area of 50,000 km², around 120 nationalities live, speaking 60 languages. For centuries, representatives of different religions and ethnic groups have lived here, and despite their close proximity, all have preserved their national identity, hold their traditions in sacred regard, and carefully preserve their cultural heritage.
