"mountain people" (from the Caucasus - по желанию)

;-)

It's the same word, and it will be clear from context that one is not talking about "white people".

Наталия, ну и бурю Вы подняли!

Я бы хотела добавить несколько замечаний на комментарии коллег к моему ответу:
I deliberately used \"Caucaus ethnic\" vs \"ethnic Caucaisan\" as I have found that the latter is used in the same context as \"Caucasian\", eg.www.gcte.net/Join/join1.htm
Therefore, I thought it would be more clear to stick to word \"Caucasus\".

Aslo, I would prefer - in your context (as it is obviously not an anthropology :) piece but a popular article - to use to \"Caucasus natives\") because the use of Caucasus vs Caucasian excludes a possible misunderstanding and the word \"native\" is fairly widely used in this context not making it sound too scientific.

Наталия, вот мне все неймется и захотелось обратиться к первоисточникам - заглянула я в свой Оксфордский словарь и увидела, что как существительное слово Caucasian употребляется ТОЛЬКО в значении человек Caucasian race. Так что испльзование Caucasian как существительного в вашем тексте сразу отпадает. Как прилагательное, только третье значение дается как \"3) relating to the region of the Caucasus in SE Europe\". В зависимости от вашей аудитории, может быть не верно понято, поэтому я бы на Вашем месте воздержалась от его использования.

Чисто интуитивно мне не нравилось и мое предоложение насчет \"Caucausus ethnic\" а почему прояснилось когда наткнулась на эту ссылку:

\"Кавказец\" - все больше становится идентичностью, нагруженной не этническим или культурным, но ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИМ содержанием...\" http://www.inci.ru/vestniki/vest07.html

Это как евреев в бывшем Союзе считали национальностью. В общем, оттуда ноги растут.

Native м.б. неплохое решение (по аналогии с native American), но в английском звучит несколько архаично.

People (men) from Caucasus, предложенное коллегами выше, тоже ложится в контекст хотя, конечно, и не передает всех нюансов (эти люди могут быть москвичами, а человек с Кавказа может быть и русским, по большому счету), но может быть наилучшим выходом из Вашей ситуации.

Кстати, мне почему-то кажется, что имеются в виду \"people from North Caucasus\"?

Ну вот, а теперь пойду к своим баранам, то есть рукояткам и джойстикам - будь они неладны!

Perhaps \"ethnic Caucasians\" would dispell any doubt about the use of the word

Russian term (edited): �������

Caucasian точно будет воспиринято как "белый"(представитель европеоидной рассы), что(мягко говоря) почти противоположно контексту. Поскольку под "лицами кавказской национальности" подразумеваются исключительно закавказцы, а не жители Ставрополья, Краснодарского края, и т.д. предлагаю сконцентрироваться в этом направлении.

simply "caucasian" is perfectly valid though it could indeed be confusing and one may assume it to be anyone of the "white" race. Since they clearly do not mean Scandinavians or Spanish, etc. here, it is best to use a word for specific geogr. location "Caucasia". The self-explanatory term "caucasian", however, which the world uses to describe the white race, is an entirely different subject
