Bats people
Nakh-speaking ethnographic group, living in Georgia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bats people or the Batsbi[lower-alpha 1] are Nakh-speaking Tushetians in the country of Georgia. They are also known as the Ts’ova-Tush (წოვათუშები) after the Ts’ova Gorge in the historic Georgian mountain region of Tusheti. The group should not be confused with the neighbouring Kists – also a Nakh-speaking people who live in the nearby Pankisi Gorge.
