These have been studied, described and categorized by renowned linguists and dialectologists like Hrachya Adjarian, Ararad Gharibian, and Gevork Djahougian. In Djahugian's categorization, which is based on a multi-featured approach, these dialects are included as two diverse groups (of Beylan and Svedia-Kesab) in the most south-western group of the Cilician dialects. The description of the dialects has been formulated by different dialectologists. Fortunately, the dialects of Kesab and Svedia are still alive and are used mostly in Ainjar (Lebanon) and Kesab (Syria).
