Abstract
The article analyzes the process of assimilation of borrowed socio-political words in the Kabardian-Cherkess language. It is argued that the penetration of the considered group of lexemes into the Kabardian-Cherkess language can be divided into two stages: the pre-written stage, when Arabo-Turkic borrowings had a significant influence, and the written stage, during which the Russian language became the main source of vocabulary. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that the rules related to the principles of borrowing socio-political lexemes in the Kabardian-Cherkessian language remain unresolved to this day. Therefore, there is currently a discrepancy in the spelling of borrowed socio-political words in various publications. To solve this problem, the author proposes the creation of a modern dictionary of socio-political names in the Kabardian-Cherkessian language. As a result of the conducted research, the main ways of mastering socio-political names are established, and the main errors are identified.
