Bezhta (formerly also known as Kapuchi) belongs to the Tsezic subgroup of the Nakh-Daghestanian (Northeast Caucasian, East Caucasian) language family and is spoken in the Republic of Daghestan in the Russian Federation. 

Bezhta has three main dialects: Bezhta Proper (bež-ƛ’a, lit. ‘enclosure-SUP’), Khosharkhota (qäšärqoƛ’a – apparently from xäšä ‘mouth’, qo ‘smoke’, -ƛ’a ‘SUP’), and Tladal (haƛod – etymology unknown). The Tladal dialect is the most divergent, but still these dialects are mutually intelligible.
