The term "Chechen-Ingush" refers to the ethnic groups of the Chechen and Ingush people, who primarily inhabit the North Caucasus region of Russia. They share cultural, linguistic, and historical ties, with their languages belonging to the Nakh-Daghestanian language family. Historically, the Chechen and Ingush peoples have faced significant challenges, including conflicts and forced migrations. The region has a complex history marked by resistance against external control, particularly during the Soviet era. Today, both groups continue to maintain their unique identities while navigating the socio-political landscape of modern Russia.
