The Botlikh people (also known as Bótligh Botlig Botlog or Buikhatli in Botlikh Буйхалъида Bujxałida) are an Andi–Dido people of Dagestan. Until the 1930s they were considered a distinct people. Since that time they have been classified as Caucasian Avars and have faced a campaign to have them assimilate into that population. The Botlikh are primarily Sunni Muslims. They numbered 3354 people in 1926. They speak the Botlikh language which belongs to the Northeast Caucasian language family.
