Chechen

Chechen is spoken in Russia's Chechen Republic, located in the Caucasus with its capital at Grozny. Together with the closely related Ingush language (the two are for the most part mutually intelligible), it constitutes the Eastern branch of the Caucasian family of languages. There are about 750,000 speakers. As in Kabardian and other Caucasian languages, the alphabet contains the additional letter I.
