I had a look at the UDHR text in Abkhaz.
This is written in the Cyrillic script, with some additional characters. When converted to lower case, and eliminating numbers and punctuation, I am left with 44 characters, of which one is space.

I recognise at least 5 vowels.
When I ran an HMM analysis on it, it found 16 vowels, some of which clearly are consonants. This is not a very good result.

The character entropy of this text is completely standard. I compare it with other UDHR versions written in Cyrillic:

                      H1         H2 (cond)
------------------------------------------
Abkhaz:       4.263      3.110
Belorus:       4.531      3.083
Bulgarian      4.221      3.155
Mongolian    4.425      3.201
Macedonian  4.162      3.080
Russian:       4.439      3.136

The only unusual thing I see is that the frequency plot of the character pairs is rather asymmetric.
The unusual aspect observed in the PCA plot cannot be found back in these statistics.
