The language is spoken in the villages Andi (along the river Andi-Koisu),[4] Gunkha, Gagatl, Ashali, Rikvani, Chanko, Zilo, and Kvanxidatl.

[5] There are four main dialects, Munin, Rikvani, Kvanxidatl, and Gagatl, which appear quite divergent.

Although Andi is usually unwritten, there are attempts to write the language using Russian Cyrillic script.

[7] Andi has 7 different series of localization: the meaning "inside" changes by number (singular -ла/-а, plural -хъи: гьакъу-ла 'in a home', гьакъоба-хъи 'in houses').

Number categories are expressed through ablaut (имуво воцци в-усон 'The father found the brother', but имуво воццул в-осон 'The father found the brothers').
