It is characterized by ergative clause structure focus marking, complex verbal system containing a number of synthetic and periphrastic forms of aspect/tense/evidentiality, class system of the noun with a long list of locative cases. Icari differs from the standard Dargwa in certain respects, for example in the consonant system, predicate structure, etc. Rasul O. Matulov is Senior Lecturer at the Daghestan State University (Makhachkala). He teaches Linguistics and the Dargwa language. His Ph.D. these is the only considerable work dealing with the Icari dialect. NINA R.
