Abkhaz is one of the main official languages spoken in the region. Russian is also widely used in everyday life, government, business, and tourism. Many signs, documents, and public services are available in Russian. Older generations may also speak Georgian, especially in certain communities. Visitors who know Russian generally find communication easier throughout most parts of the region. English is less common than in many major tourist destinations, although some hotel staff and guides may speak it. Learning a few basic phrases is often appreciated by local residents.
