The Zhaney ( Adyghe: Жьанэ, romanized: Janə; Russian: Жанеевцы, romanized: Žaneevcy), or Jane, were one of the twelve major Circassian tribes, representing one of the twelve stars on the green-and-gold Circassian flag. [1]
History
The Zhaney were a very powerful Circassian tribe in the past. [2] 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, as only 3 families survived.
