The Nakh languages are a small family of languages spoken chiefly by the Nakh peoples, in Russia (Chechnya and Ingushetia), in Georgia, and in the Chechen diaspora (mainly in Europe, Middle East and Central Asia). The Nakh languages were historically classified as an independent North-Central Caucasian family, but are now recognized as a branch of the Northeast Caucasian family. They are believed to have split off some 5,000–6,000 years ago.〔(Russia confronts Chechnya – Roots of a separatist conflict, Cambridge University Press )〕 ==Classification== * Vainakh languages, a dialect continuum with two literary languages: * * Chechen – approximately 1,330,000 speakers (2002).〔(Ethnologue report for Chechen )〕 * * Ingush – approximately 413,000 speakers (2002).〔(Ethnologue report for Ingush )〕 * Bats or Batsbi – approximately 3,420 (2000),〔(Ethnologue report for Bats )〕 spoken mostly in Zemo-Alvani, Georgia.
