'''Hakuchi''' ({{langx|ady|ХьакӀуцубзэ}} {{IPA|ady|ħaːkʷʼɘt͡sʷɘbzɐ|}} or {{lang|ady|Къарацхаибзэ}} {{IPA|ady|qaːraːt͡sxaːjɘbzɐ|}} in Hakuchi Adyghe) is a variety of the [[Shapsugs|Shapsug]] [[sub-dialect]] of [[West Circassian|West Adyghe dialect]] of the [[Adyghe language]] spoken in [[Turkey]]. It is considered to be the most archaic variety of Adyghe.

Since the [[Hakuchey|Hakuchi]] are considered an isolated Shapsug clan, their dialect differs little from that of the Shapsug dialect. It is also believed that the Hakuchis are a blend of various Circassian tribes: Shapsug, Ubykh, Abdzakh and others. This is why the Hakuchi dialect has some interesting phonetics in it.
