The Avar language belongs to the family of Northeast Caucasian languages. Islam has been the prevailing religion of the Avars since the 13th century. Avarians originated in Khurasan, south-east of the Caspian Sea, and migrated to the Caucasus. The Avar invasion of the Caucasus resulted in the establishment of an Avar ruling dynasty in Sarir, a medieval Christian state in the Dagestani highlands.
