Talk:Chechen language

message: 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)

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)

text: Chechen is in Nakh group. Nakh is in North-East Caucassian group along with Some Daghestani languages. Some Scholars as I. Starostin and I. Diakonoff put Nakh-Daghestani language family into Alarodian Language Family with Hurrian and Urartean.Liberatium (talk) 11:57, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: 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)

replies: text: No. Chechen is Northeast Caucasian, while Albanian is Indo-European. The listed pseudo-cognates aren't even very similar when you compare them (I fail to see how "hoqa" and "kete" are similar?). And some of the words in Chechen are even loanwords from other languages. That list is actually quite random and not really interesting. — N-true (talk) 10:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Loanwords? ) Are you sure? You write nonsense, N-true Heshamatak (talk) 21:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  These comparisons are meaningless; apart form the fact that Albanian is already known to be Indo-European, a list of look-alike words is useless without a set of clear and consistent sound-correspondences. Please read on the Comparative Method if you would like further information.    Sgmccabe (talk) 16:13, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of them are clearly borrowed. For instance, Chechen=yaalla,waala is from Arabic والله / ياالله. —Stephen (talk) 16:48, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Some? Where? And it's not borrowed from arabic, dialect form : jolu and yohli -> chechen lowell "yaall". And other words is Chechen and Sino-Caucasian. Read Starostin. Chechen "come here": QUZA HAVOLA , and not "waala" Heshamatak (talk) 18:05, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Similarities between Chechens and Albanians

message: I noticed that this page and a Chechen Wikipedia page both are using the Roman letter "I" for palochka. Shouldn’t this be Cyrillic Ӏ? —Stephen (talk) 22:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Chechen wikipedia (and also the Avar one, if I'm not mistaken) uses this convention because the Cyrillic "Ӏ" doesn't show up correctly in some fonts and isn't easily accessible on any "national" keyboard layout. Thus, Avars and Chechens commonly use Latin "I" or "1". They indeed look better in most fonts. — N-true (talk) 14:22, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

message: In the lede, the name of the language is displayed as ნახჩიე მუოთთ in Georgian, but the pronunciation is [ˈnɔx.t͡ʃiːn mu͜ɔt]. If the Georgian writing is supposed to be phonetic, it should be ნოხჩინ მუოთ or ნოხჩიინ მუოთ to fit with the other transliterations. However, I'm not sure if there actually is a different name for it when in the Georgian script, as I am unfamiliar with Chechen; can anybody confirm that the transliteration listed in the article is correct?
