The Karin dialect is one of the most widespread dialects of the K branch, which, coming from the depths of thousands of years, is still alive today.
In the present article we have presented a comparative study of the grammatical categories of nouns in several branches of the Karin dialect. For this purpose we have chosen three different regions being part of Georgia: Damala, the only Armenian village of the Aspindza region, Tsira village of the Akhaltsikhe region, Vachian village of the Akhalkalaki region. By taking the branches of different regions as the study material, we have tried to highlight all the commonalities and differences that are present both in the formation of the plural and in the declension of the mentioned branches.
