	North Ossetia-Alania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ossetian population of North Ossetia is predominantly Christian with a Muslim minority, speaking Ossetic and Russian.
		The republic has a sizeable group of non-native Ingush and Armenian population; however, a portion of the Ingush population left for Ingushetia with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the outbreak of interethnic conflict in the region.
		Despite the inevitable economic burden of a sizeable refugee population, North Ossetia is the most well-to-do republic in the northern Caucasus.
