The article provides an overview of the degree of knowledge of the Dagestan unwritten languages. The main attention is focused on the analysis of the current state of research of the Chamalin language — one of the Avar-Andean languages. Individual, relevant and unresolved problems of the Chamalin language at the present stage are highlighted, an analysis of the current situation is given and some reasons are noted, tasks are formulated, on the solution of which the preservation of the unwritten languages of Dagestan to one degree or another depends. A comprehensive study of unwritten languages will expand the material base for the comparative study of, firstly, unwritten, secondly, Dagestan, and thirdly, Caucasian languages. The purpose of the article is to determine the main tasks of modern Dagestan studies in collecting and recording the not yet lost linguistic material of carriers of unwritten languages. Timely updating of a research area can be a very promising and extremely significant stage when working on the preservation and development of the language. In relation to the unwritten Dagestan languages, the current direction is the creation of a scientific research and material base for the study and preservation of the linguistic and folklore heritage of small ethnic groups.
