The Ubykh (Ubykh: Tuex̂ı /tʷɜxɨ/; Adyghe: Убых, Ubyx; Russian: Убыхи; Turkish: Ubıhlar / Vubıhlar) are one of the twelve major Circassian tribes, represented by one of the twelve stars on the green-and-gold Circassian flag.[1] Along with the Natukhai and Shapsug tribes, the Ubykh were one of three coastal Circassian tribes to form the Circassian Assembly (Adyghe: Адыгэ Хасэ) in 1860.[2] Historically, they spoke a distinct Ubykh language,[3] which never existed in written form and went extinct in 1992 when Tevfik Esenç, the last speaker, died.
