	The Ingush People
		The land inside the Terek bend, from the mountaintops to the plains, and extending eastward nearly to the Andi Kojsu and Sulak, was inhabited by Chechen and Ingush prior to the Russian conquest of the Caucasus.
		The clans of the Chechen and the Ingush, the ties of those clans to their own land, and the biological ancestry of those clans on that land, are patterns that almost certainly go back for many millennia and are affected little if at all by shifts of language.
		Chechen and Ingush are so close to each other that with some practice a speaker of one has fair comprehension of the other, and where the two languages are in contact they are used together: a Chechen addresses an Ingush in Chechen, the Ingush replies in Ingush, and communication proceeds more or less smoothly.

	03.07.00 - Berkeley professor working with Chechen colleagues to save endangered language
		Chechen and its close sister language Ingush make up the Nakh half of the Nakh-Daghestanian family tree, thus providing information crucial to tracing the ancestral language and studying or reconstructing the prehistory of the people of the Caucasus.
		The plan, Nichols said, is to maintain a permanent yet growing electronic dictionary with the collaboration of Chechen scholars and, "assuming the Chechen people survive at all, the Chechen university and research institutes." Data collection and expansion of the electronic version of the dictionary with various updates and editions will continue indefinitely, she said.
		Nichols has described the Chechen people as "a people of great dignity, refinement and courage who have paid heavily for their resistance to conquest and assimilation." Even if they survive physically, she said, they have been threatened with ethnic cleansing, wholesale economic ruin, and the loss of their linguistic and cultural heritage.
