Abstract The paper describes the programme to restore the Adyghe language in the Republic of Adyghe, in the Northern Caucasus, in the wake of its recent independence from the Soviet Union. The principal elements of the programme are described: teacher training, development of course materials, and assessment procedures. The difficulties are formidable. Russian is still the majority (70%) language, in a total population of 400,000, and Adyghe speakers are mostly concentrated in rural areas. A number of general conclusions are drawn which will probably hold true also, to a lesser or a greater degree, for the other small languages and nationalities that are attempting to reverse the negative effects on their languages of previous domination by Russia.
