Answer 1

Answer:

Transcaucasia was referred to by Arab geographers by a name that means "Mountain of Language" because it was a meeting place for people from many areas with many different languages

Explanation:

Transcaucasia or South Caucasus is a geographical area located between Russia in the north and Turkey and Iran in the south, and includes the countries of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Transcaucasia consists of the part of the Caucasus region that lies between the Caucasus mountain range in the north, the Armenian highlands and the Talysh mountains in the south, and lowlands and plains towards the Black Sea in the west and the Caspian Sea in the east.  

All of Transcaucasia was under the Soviet Union until 1991, when the three countries became independent. Following the disintegration of the Commonwealth, there have been a number of conflicts in the area, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia seeking independence from Georgia, and Nagorno-Karabakh which Armenia and Azerbaijan are contending with.
