Ingush language

Ingush language is a language spoken by approximately 230,315 people (1989) across a region covering Ingushetia, Chechnya, Uzbekistan and Russia.

Ingush and Chechen, together with Bats, constitute the Nakh language branch of the Northeast Caucasian language family.

Ingush became a written language with an Arabic-based writing system at the beginning of the 20th century. After the October revolution it first used a Latin alphabet which was later replaced by Cyrillic letters.
