Overview

The Ingush language has about 300,000 speakers, and along with Chechen is one of the largest indigenous languages of the northern Caucasus. This bilingual dictionary is the very first of its kind. It has approximately 5000 Ingush words and about 5000 English words. The Ingush words are cited in both current Cryllic orthography and the Latin system. Entries have full grammatical information and glosses include alternatives and comments so as to convey the full meanings of words (as opposed to simply translating them).
