Welcome!

The Ingush Language Project at the University of California, Berkeley carries out research on and documentation of the Ingush Language.    Its goals are making the scientific and historical interest of the Ingush language and culture better known to the world, and aiding teaching and preservation of the language.  This website also publicizes human-rights issues affecting Ingushetia. 

The project is headed by Professor Johanna Nichols of the Slavic Department, and is supported by the National Science Foundation
