| | Hexapedia - Northeast Caucasian languages |
 | | This theory is not yet widely accepted; the words that are claimed to be cognates may be actually loan words. | | | This family is known for the complex phonology (up to 60 consonants or up to 30 vowels in some languages), stop consonants, noun classes, ergative sentence structure, and large number of noun cases, including several locative cases. | | | Among this group, only Lezgi and Tabassaran are written. |

| | The Ingush People |
| | 97% or more of the Chechen and Ingush claim these as their first languages, though most also speak Russian, generally quite fluently, and the generation that was of school age during the 1944-56 deportation is often Russian-dominant. | | | The entire ethnic group and its leadership was referred to as `bandits', `gangsters', etc., during the war, and Caucasians in general but especially Chechens were and are publicly stigmatized as associated with organized crime. | | | This is based on an article on the Chechen circulated in January 1995 when the recent war began. |

| | Definition of Hurrian language |
| | Speiser, believe that the Hurrians were later arrivals who assimilated or were assimilated by a Subarian substratum, and view the term "Hurrian language" as anachronistic. | | | Hurrian is an agglutinative language which belongs to neither the Semitic nor the Indo-European language families. | | | Hurrian is a conventional name for the language of the Hurrians, a people who entered northern Mesopotamia around 2300 BC and had mostly vanished by 1000 BC. |

| | The Ancient Hurrians |
| | The Hurrians were a people identified by their non-Semitic, non Indo-European language, Hurrian. | | | Their origin northeast of Mesopotamia in Caucasia or beyond is inferred from an indirect link between Hurrian and Urartian, both descendants of a common root language (Proto-Hurrian-Urartian) and connected to northeast Caucasian languages. |
