In Dagestan live about 35 different ethnic groups.
Some of these peoples have their own flags.

Let me share with you the flag of a small ethnic group in Dagestan -
Dido (Tsezy).
More info on them at:

from Wikipedia, 10 September 2008Yet another nation of Dagestan (and Azerbaijan), this time the largest one - the Avars. Their complicated history, both medieval and modern, is presented at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_Avars They total slightly over million people (together with absorbed, related nationalities like Andis, Akhvakhs, Botligs, Godoberis, Bagulals, Karatas, Tindis, Chamalals (all considered Avars), the Dido group, which includes Didos, Khwarshia, Bezhetas, Khunzals and Ginugs and, not so closely related, but belonging to the proto-Avar tribes - the Archis). About 815,000 Avars live in Russia (750,000 in Dagestan, the rest in Chechnia, Kalmykia, Moscow and elsewhere) About 160,000 live in Azerbaijan, 45,000 in Turkey and 2,500 in Georgia. Smaller communities can be found in Jordan, Germany and the U.S. They are overwhelmingly Sunni Moslems. Majority adhere to the Shafi rite. Their language belongs to Nakh-Dagestan branch of the Caucasian languages. Khunzakh dialect serves as lingua franca and is a foundation for the Avar literary language written in modified cyrillic script since 1938 (from 1927 to 1938 it was written in latin script, and before that in arabic) The town of Khunzakh is a cultural center of Avaristan and serves as an unofficial capital of the Avars. Although the Avaristan (the Avar homeland) has no official status, the nationalistic feelings of the Avars are strong and on the rise.
Recently, the modern version of the old Avarian Khaganate flag, white
wolf of the Huns on black, is gaining an acceptance as the national
flag of the Avars and of Avaristan. Original old flag is on display
at the Central Museum in Makhachkala. The modern flag shows the white
wolf holding a banner with swastika and looking backward toward the
crescent moon. It is framed in yellow. The Avar swastika is a common
symbol there since ancient times. Called "sswerdiro" in Avar
language, it means: "Power to Destroy - Power to Create: Power of God".
Chrystian Kretowicz, 21 May 2008
Our Latvian colleague, Ilmars Bite, just posted on RussoVex the best
yet image of the alleged flag of the Avars. This image differs from
the one which I ( and Avar Khunz) reported earlier, by the inclusion
of the representation of the stylized mountain range at the bottom of
the flag, as seen on the photo of the flag maintained by the museum in
Makhachkala.

The beast portrayed, flying lion with dog’s
head, sure fits the description of
Chelyabinsk/Bashkir simargl
— and though Daghestan (where the Nogai dwell) is
some 1500 km SW of Chelyabinsk
region, there may be a connection, as both
Nogay and Bashkir (the
second largest ethnical group in Chelyabinsk region,
after the Russians) are
(western) turkic
(slim connection, shared with eight other
peoples of the Russian
Federation, but who knows…).

I’ve just seen on the French-German cultural TV channel Arte a
documentary about Dagestan, in which the flag of nationalist movement of
Kumukh people was shown (interview of its leader, with a big flag on the
wall and a table flag in front of him). The emblem on the flag is white
outlined black; the three “beasts” are linked together (as in the emblem
of Isle of Man), and the circle in the center is
is the border of zone where the three beasts join in one. In the center of
the circle, crescent and star, white outlined black.
Olivier Touzeau, 16 March 2000
On cpekacar.sitemynet.com/anadagkum.htm,
there are pics of Kumukh Arms, which are actually the flag with somewhat
different colors from this one.

I believe that several patterns exist; the basic design is what all people
agree.

I remade the image according photo of real flag received from
Khadzhy Bayram Bolat (Turkey).
Order of stripes is different.
The flag is used by Kumyk people in Dagestan and Kumyk diaspora in Turkey.

Jarig Bakker, 07 October 1999, quoting from the
Ethnologue database
Lezghistan (or Lezgia) is the southernmost tip
of Russia, included in the multi-ethnic republic of
Daghestan. Its does include
also some neighbouring territory of
Azerbaijan
António Martins, 10 August 1999
This is flag use Lezgi people and Lezgic (Tabasaran, Aghul, Rutul, Archi and
other Lezgic group). This is flag name is "Lezgi flag" ore "Caucasian Albanian
flag"

Accordin Aliev Saumur this flag want to be:
It is not Lezghian flag! I am from Dagestan. Please remove this flag. Not
seeing misleading people and do not insult people Lezghian.
Ruslan Baymashev, 02 June 2015
This one needs some more digging - from a very brief look at the internet,
the symbolism of the flag is clearly used by the Lezgi.
