    It's Georgian with a heavy Turkish accent which isn't surprising.

    It is though not very intelligble with Georgia I suspect? It is supposedly more akin to Mingrelian also spoken in Georgia.

    This guy has a heavy Turkish accent. Thats why it sounds like it has Turkish influence. Actually on the contrary, the Turkish that Eastern Blacksea people speak has its own accent which has been effected a lot by Lazuri. Though there are a lot of Turkish words in modern Lazuri naturally.

    You can find better Lazuri speakers on Youtube

    It sounds like Georgian or Circassian to me. I wish every ethnicities in Turkey could speak their language and never was assimilated. Now they just know their ethnicity, not their language...

    Alsoo my favourite Laz song

    First guy sounds absolutely Turkish. Old lady and girls Georgian. Lazuri is one of the Kartvelian languages and is similar to Megrelian.
