Chechens
In 1989, 73.4% spoke Russian, though this figure has declined due to the wars for a large number of reasons (including the lack of proper education, the refusal to learn the language, and the mass dispersal of the Chechen diaspora due to the war). Chechens in the diaspora often speak the language of the country they live in (English, German, Arabic, Polish, Georgian, etc.).
Chechen Kurds
Today, the Chechen population in Turkish Kurdistan is scattered among the Kurdish population and has been assimilated into it. A local Chechen from Bağiçi village stated in 2010 that Chechens and Kurds live in harmony and that the later show Chechens love and respect.
