Alam-Linda (Abkhaz: Аладахьтәи Линда, Georgian: ქვემო ლინდა), meaning 'Lower-Linda' or Kummi küla is a village in Abkhazia, Georgia.[2]

The village was established by Estonians in 19th century.[3] It had its own school and prayer house, singing society "Koidula" and singing choir.[4] As of 2011, probably no Estonians live there.[5]

Having unilaterally declared independence from Georgia in 1992, Abkhazia is formally recognised as an independent state by 5 UN member states (two other states previously recognised it but then withdrew their recognition), while the remainder of the international community recognizes it as de jure Georgian territory. Georgia continues to claim the area as its own territory, designating it as Russian-occupied territory.
