Guaye
Extinct Circassian tribe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Guaye[1][2] (Adyghe: Гъоае, гъоайе, romanized: Ğoaye) were one of the Circassian tribes. They were destroyed after the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War, as not a single member survived.[3]
Mentions
In 1857, Leonty Yakovlevich Lyulie gave a description of them, which was the last known mention of them in history[Other sources clearly indicate their existence]. In 1930, the ethnographer Leonid Lavrov noted some Guaye families living in the village of Tkhagapsh.
