The Godoberi language belongs to the Andi subgroup of the northwestern group (Avar-Dido) of Dagestan languages. The Godoberis themselves call their language gijbdilhi mitstsi. There are two distinct dialects -- the Godoberi and the Zibirhali dialects -- which differ first and foremost in the pronunciation. (The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire)
