I believe Chechen is an Indo-European language, but I'm not really sure. Does anyone know, and can you please add whichever family it is into the article? Beginning 11:30, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)

No, it is not IE. Bogdan | Talk 11:35, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Okay, so...what is it? Altaic? Beginning 13:30, Sep 3, 2004 (UTC)
"North Central Caucasian languages". An indigenous family of the Caucasus, with no other relatives. Bogdan | Talk 14:38, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)

hey wait, so does chechen use the latin or cyrillic alphabet? I am a bit confused by this article's lack of coverage in that subject. --ThrashedParanoid 02:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Both, apparently it's a politically-charged issue. —Felix the Cassowary (ɑe hɪː jɐ) 07:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

In case anyone was wondering about the language group, Chechen is related to Georgian and several other minor ones.WizardofOskemen 23:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

This is not entirely true. It hasn't been proven yet that Chechen is related to the Georgian language. So far, most linguists deny their relationship. Chechen, however, is related to Ingush, Batsbi, Avar, Tsez and some more... but most likely not to Georgian. — N-true 17:01, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Numbers

This article informs us that the language has "about 1,200,000", "about 950,000", and "944,600". Could someone clarify this? Biruitorul 22:52, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
