Itsari (Icari, Itsari: ицӀран гъай[1]) is a language in the Dargin dialect continuum spoken in Dagestan, Russia spoken in the village Itsari, as well as in Kizlyarsky District, Druzhba, and other villages and cities, both in and outside of Dagestan, by about 2,000 people.

Ethnologue lists it as a dialect of Dargwa but recognizes that it may be a separate language.

[3] Its closest relative is Sanzhi, which has only about 200 speakers and is considered to be an endangered language, as parents are now teaching their children Russian for practical purposes.

The younger population is shifting to Russian as their primary language.

[2] Itsari has phonemic pharyngealization, as is evidenced by the minimal pair šam 'lamb' – šaӏm 'candle'.
