The Circassians in Syria (Circassian: Сирием ис Адыгэхэр; Arabic: الشركس في سوريا) refers to the Circassian diaspora settled in Syria (then part of the Ottoman Empire) in the 19th century. They moved to Syria after the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War. While they have become an increasingly assimilated part of Syrian society, they have maintained a distinct identity, having retained their Adyghe language (in addition to Arabic), their tribal heritage and some of their traditional customs.

  • شركس سوريا هم المجتمع الشركسي في سوريا وهو أقلية عرقية في هذا البلد. تعود أصولهم إلى منطقة القوقاز،كنتيجة للحروب التوسعية التي شنتها الإمبراطورية الروسية في المنطقة أُضطُرَّ الكثير من الشركس إلى الهجرة إلى الأراضي العثمانية أو الروسية بعد حروب وقلاقل استمرت أكثر من مائة عام. معظم التقديرات تحدد عدد الشركس بحوالي مائة ألف نسمة. غالبيتهم مسلمين على المذهب سني. على الرغم من اندماج الشركس على نحو متزايد من المجتمع السوري، إلا أنهم حافظوا على هوية متميزة، بعد أن احتفظوا بلغتهم الأديغية (بالإضافة إلى العربية)، وتراثهم القبلي وبعض عاداتهم التقليدية.

  • The Circassians in Syria (Circassian: Сирием ис Адыгэхэр; Arabic: الشركس في سوريا) refers to the Circassian diaspora settled in Syria (then part of the Ottoman Empire) in the 19th century. They moved to Syria after the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War. While they have become an increasingly assimilated part of Syrian society, they have maintained a distinct identity, having retained their Adyghe language (in addition to Arabic), their tribal heritage and some of their traditional customs. Prior to the Civil War in Syria, the Circassian population was estimated to be around 100,000 . Since the decade long conflict began in 2011, the predominantly Sunni Muslim population of ethnic Circassians in Syria has dwindled. Many of Syria's ethnic Circassians have left the country and have repatriated or are in the process of repatriation to the titular Circassian parts of North Caucasia, in particular Adygea, Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia, as well as to partially recognised Republic of Abkhazia. In 2018 Professor John Shoup said that the Circassian population in Syria formed about 1% of the country's total population, making them the sixth largest ethnic group in the country. (en)
  • I circassi siriani (in adighè: Сирием ис адыгэхэр; in arabo: شركس سوريا‎) sono una comunità costituita da cittadini siriani di etnia circassa stabilitasi in Siria durante la seconda metà del XIX secolo in seguito al genocidio circasso. Di religione musulmana, la comunità, sebbene sia diventata parte integrante della società siriana, ha mantenuto un'identità distinta, conservando in buona parte la lingua, l'identità tribale e i costumi originari. La popolazione circassa siriana è diminuita con l'avvento della guerra civile siriana. Molti membri della comunità hanno abbandonato il Paese emigrando nella terre ancestrali del Caucaso, in particolare in Adighezia, Cabardino-Balcaria e Karačaj-Circassia. (it)
