The Bzhedugh (Adyghe: Бжъэдыгъу, pronounced [bʐɐdɘʁʷ]; Russian: Бжедуги) are one of the twelve major Circassian tribes.[1]
Many of them immigrated to Turkey in the 1860s, but there is still a community of Bzhedug on the left bank of the Kuban River (in the vicinity of Krasnodar).[2] The Bzhedug people live in Adygea and Krasnodar Krai, and are well represented in the Adyghe (Circassian) diaspora in all countries of residence. Even in ancient times the Bzhedug people were divided into four tribes.
