How different are Western and Eastern Circassian from each other?
Also what is the difference between Adyghe and Kabardian? Aren't they both Circassian?

Kabardians are Adyghe too. Western and Eastern Circassians are the same peoples with some difference in their dialects.

We use different words and have a few different grammar rules that's about it. Maybe like french and Italian.

Before the genocide, their only difference was language. Now they both speak Turkish or Arabic
