Since the Hakuchi are considered an isolated Shapsugh clan, their dialect differs little from that of the Shapsugh dialect.

The Hakuchi has an uvular ejective [qʼ] and a labialized uvular ejective [qʷʼ][1] that correspond to West Adyghe and Kabardian Adyghe glottal stop [ʔ] and labialized glottal stop [ʔʷ].
