[edit] Request for clarification
According to the map, "Caucasian Peoples" are only those who speak the Caucasian peoples, and would therefore not include Kurds, Azeris, Ossetians, Armenians etc. Note how the article Peoples of the Caucasus in Turkey makes the distinction between "Peoples of the Caucasus" and "Caucasian peoples". Therefore I reccomend that this article be moved to Peoples of the Caucasus. Any thoughts? —Khoikhoi 00:20, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- I gather most scholarly works and ethnographic accounts use "the peoples of the Caucasus" to denote the whole ethnic spectrum of the region. For example, Routledge publishes the Caucasus World: People of the Caucasus series which includes, among others, books on Armenians, Hemshins, and Mountain Jews. I think the "peoples of the Caucasus" is a legitimate title for the article which deals with all ethnic groups dwelling in the region. I’m less sure about the "Caucasian peoples", which seems to be frequently used interchangeably with the peoples of the Caucasus. How about creating a disambiguation page for the Caucasian peoples and having something like this:
- Caucasian peoples may refer to:
- The Peoples of the Caucasus, various ethnic groups inhabiting the Caucasus region;
- The indigenous peoples of the region speaking the languages restricted to the Caucasus area: South Caucasian, Northwest Caucasian, and Northeast Caucasian?--KoberTalk 06:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] People(s)
Some anon changed all instances in this article of the word "peoples" to "people". Personally, it doesn't make much sense. This article contians lists of many different ethnic groups, not just one. Also, it sounds better in English. —Khoikhoi 04:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- i totally agree with Khoikhoi, the move was needed to clarify and address the question of other ethnic groups living in Caucasus besides Caucasian ethnic group. Thanks. Ldingley 17:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Race of peoples of the Caucasus
I thought maybe someone should include a section to the article discussing/explaining the "race" of the peoples of the Caucasus. That is to say, which would be considered "white" and which would be considered "Asian", etc etc. I lack the knowledge to make such an edit myself. Static Sleepstorm 09:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Too much blondes in pictures
Well, among caucasians there is blondes, but they are rare and couldn't represent caucasians. 159.148.71.250 06:10, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, my family is Migrel and most of my relations are blonde/fair or ginger as well as some with dark hair. It depends on what area/region you are in. 86.213.185.242 (talk) 10:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
