The Makhosh[1][2][3] (Adyghe: Мэхъош, romanized: Məxhoṩ) were one of the Circassian tribes. The tribe was mostly annihilated in the Circassian genocide following the Russo-Circassian War.[4] A single family remains and lives mostly in the Circassian diaspora.
Many groups of Makhosh were exiled to Ottoman lands, especially in the years 1858–1859, as documented in the Ottoman Archives.[5] They live mostly in Samsun.[6]
