The Chechen language has about 1.2 million speakers and is one of the largest indigenous languages of the northern Caucasus. The Russian-Chechen wars have created refugee and immigrant populations in Russia and Europe, and these populations are anxious to maintain the younger generations' fluency in Chechen and uphold ethnic and linguistic consciousness among expatriate Chechens worldwide. This bilingual dictionary contains 6000 words of essential Chechen vocabulary: basic verbs; pronouns, numerals, particles, conjunctions, and postpositions; common and everyday vocabulary; and many entries of the rapidly disappearing traditional vocabulary. All entries have grammatical information and pronunciation guides and are given in both the current Cyrillic orthography and a user-friendly, diacritic-free, all-Latin transcription. Similar grammatical and pronunciation information is given in the English-Chechen section. Additionaly, this dictionary gives background information about the language and descriptions of the sound system and grammar.
