The Republic of Ingushetia<\/strong> (also: Ingushetia<\/strong>), a federal subject of the Russian Federation, was officially established in 1992. It is located in the south of the European part of Russia, in the North Caucasus region, and borders with North Ossetiia-Alania and the Chechen Republic. In 2000, the capital was moved from Nazran to Magas.<\/p>\n Ingushetia’s official languages are Russian and Ingush. The latter belongs to the Nakh branch of the Northeast Caucasian language family and is intelligible with Chechen. The Ingush written language emerged in 1917. Initially, it was based on an Arabic script, then on a Latin alphabet (1923) and in 1938 it turned to the Cyrillic script. National publishing began to develop after 1917. There are two republic newspapers: Ingushetiia<\/i> (published since 1993, 3 times a week, in Russian; currently available online<\/a>), Serdalo<\/i> \/ Svet <\/i>(published since 1923, 2-3 times a week, in Russian and Ingush; currently available online<\/a>) and two district newspapers: Golos Nazrani<\/i> (published since 1939, before 1993 under different names: Kolkhoznik, Put\u2019 Lenina, Nazranovets<\/i>, in Russian and Ingush), Narodnoe slovo<\/i> (Malgobekskii district, in Russian and Ingush).<\/p>\n The Ingush alphabet has a character that does not exist in the Russian alphabet: \u04c0. Users who are interested in working with vernacular languages, can download a Cyrillic extended keyboard<\/a> that can be used for Ingush and many other languages of the Russian Federation. For transliteration purposes, consult the Library of Congress romanization tables<\/a> for Non-Slavic languages in the Cyrillic script.<\/p>\n Sources: Bol\u2019shaia Rossiiskaia Entsiklopediia (V. 11, pp. 187-191, 193, 195-196); official website<\/a> of Ingushetia; Ethnologue<\/a>, Ingushskaia pis\u2019mennost\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below are preliminary guides to the resources available at the National Library of the Republic of Ingushetia<\/a>, the Russian National Library<\/a> and the National Archive of the Republic of Ingushetia<\/a>.<\/p>\n Natsional\u2019naia biblioteka Respubliki Ingushetiia im.
