Zhaney
The Zhaney (Adyghe: Жьанэ, romanized: Źane; Russian: Жанеевцы, romanized: Žaneevcy), or Janes, are one of the twelve Adyghe tribes (sub-ethnic groups) of the Circassian people.
History
The Zhaney were a very powerful Circassian tribe in the past. They lived the north of the Natukhai tribe's land on the coast of the Black Sea and Azov Sea in Eastern Europe. A map of the 17th century also shows they lived right by the coast of the lower flow of Kubans, beyond Taman and Atchu. As a result of the bloody Russian–Circassian War, Zhaney tribe was almost wholly destroyed.
