Comment:
Akhvakh (941-NOCODE_Southern-Akhvakh) = Threatened (60 percent certain, based on the evidence available) (There may be up to 5,000 speakers, including many children, but because of the small size of the community and the dominant position of Avar, the language must be regarded as definitely endangered.) ['bib6474']

The three Southern Akhvakh dialects are traditionally counted as one language with Northern Akhvakh in the Akhvakh [akv] entry. However, at least Tsegob is not intelligible to Northern Akhvakh ( Sulejmanov, N. D. 2000: 307-308 ) and thus a separate entry Southern Akhvakh is necessary. See also: Northern Akhvakh [akv].
