The Dargwa languages, also called Dargin, are a dialect continuum of more than sixty Northeast Caucasian languages and dialects spoken by the Dargin people of southcentral Dagestan, Russia. Ethnologue groups most of these varieties under a single Dargin language while noting some, such as Kaitag and Kubachi, may be separate languages from Dargwa proper; speakers of the southern dialects have reportedly treated the literary Aqusha dialect as foreign, and Russian serves as a lingua franca across the fragmented group.
