Ingushes in Turkey (, ) — is an Ingush diaspora of about 85 thousand people. General information The Ingush, who emigrated to Turkey at various times and represent the current Ingush diaspora, have gone through a long process of integration into Turkish society. They are full citizens and are involved in the cultural and political life of the Turkish state. Absolutely everyone speaks Turkish. At the same time, the spiritual and cultural connection with Ingushetia has not been lost. The Ingush language is mainly spoken only by representatives of the older generation, however, attempts are being made to implement a program to increase the level of knowledge of the Ingush language among young people as well. The Ingush in Turkey honor and practice Ingush customs and traditions. Whenever possible, they try to marry representatives of the Ingush diaspora in Turkey and the countries of the Middle East, as well as other Caucasian diasporas. Many descendants of the Ingush muhajirs who moved to Turkey in the 19th century keep elements of the Ingush national dress and household items. Currently, the Ingush Cultural Center and the Ethnographic Museum are functioning, which presents various monuments (elements) of Ingush culture and history.

After the Caucasian War in 1865, part of the Ingush migrated (Muhajirism) to the Ottoman Empire. In total, 1454 families moved out of Ingushetia, in particular from two communities (Karabulak and Nazranovsky sections of the Ingush district) (including Karabulaks - 1366 families and Nazranians - 88 families) (according to other sources - up to 1500 families of Karabulaks and 100 families Nazranites). The descendants of those settlers form the Ingush diasporas in Turkey, Jordan and Syria. In these
