Kryts (Kryc) is a Lezgic language of the Northeast Caucasian language family spoken in parts of the Quba Rayon of Azerbaijan by 6,000 people in 1975.[1] Its dialects are Kryts, Jek, Khaput, Template:Ill, and Alyk, which are all quite distinct to the point of only partial mutual intelligibility, therefore they could also be considered separate languages in a dialect continuum.[1]
Kryts is endangered,[2][3] classified as "severely endangered" by UNESCO's Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.[4]
