Dargin is a Northeast Caucasian language spoken by the Dargin people in the Republic of Dagestan, Russia. It is one of the several languages of the Dagestan region, known for its linguistic diversity. Dargin is characterised by its complex phonological system, which includes a variety of consonants and vowels, as well as its rich morphological structure.

The Dargin language employs the Cyrillic script for writing, which was adopted during the Soviet era, replacing an older Arabic-based script. Dargin has multiple dialects, some of which are quite distinct from each other, making mutual intelligibility a challenge in some cases. The language is used in various cultural and social contexts, including education, media, and traditional practices.

Efforts to preserve and promote the Dargin language include its use in local schools, where children are taught in Dargin, as well as Russian. There are also initiatives to publish books and produce media content in Dargin, helping to sustain its usage among the younger generation. Despite the influence of Russian, which is the dominant language in the region, Dargin remains a vital part of the cultural identity and heritage of the Dargin people.
