This article is the first attempt to conduct a comparative study of proverbs in the Abaza and Russian languages. The study of lexicographic material is comparative. The author focuses on the analysis of proverbial units. Semantic comparisons, modeling, descriptive and quantitative methods are involved in the analysis of texts. To identify the semantic and typological similarities of the proverbs of the Russian language, comparisons with equivalent proverbs of the Abaza language are used.
