There are four main dialects, Munin, Rikvani, Kvanxidatl, and Gagatl, which appear quite divergent. However, the dialects can be said to vary between villages: the "upper-group" contains Andi, Gagatl, Rikvani, and Zilo (where Andi and Zilo are considered their own dialects), whereas the "lower-group" contains Munin and Kvanxidatl. The upper-group lacks the affricate sound кьI.[4]

Although Andi is usually non written, there are attempts to write the language using Russian Cyrillic script. Speakers generally use Avar or Russian as their literary language(s).[2]

Andi has 7 different series of localization: the meaning "inside" changes by number (singular -ла/-а, plural -хъи: гьакъу-ла 'in a home', гьакъоба-хъи 'in houses'). Number categories are expressed through ablaut (имуво воцци в-усон 'The father found the brother', but имуво воццул в-осон 'The father found the brothers'). In the village Andi, there is a difference between the speech of men and women; a man will say, for example, дин meaning 'I', мин meaning 'you', гьекIа 'person', but a woman will say ден 'I', мен 'you', гьекIва 'person'.[4]

L'andi (en andi къIaваннаб мицци) est une langue caucasienne du groupe avaro-andi de la famille des langues nakho-daghestaniennes. L'andi, parlé par 10 000 personnes dans le rayon de Botlikh, au Daghestan, n'est pas une langue écrite. Les Andi se servent du russe et de l'avar. La langue est en constante régression, absorbée par l'avar qui est la langue de communication entre de nombreux groupes ethniques et n'est plus utilisée que dans le cadre familial. Il existe un dialecte avar teinté de mots et d'accent andi utilisé par une vingtaine de milliers d'Andi auxquels il ne reste que quelques vagues réminiscences de leur langue maternelle[réf. nécessaire].
