The Ingush (Ingush: ГIалгIай Ghalghai pronounced [ˈʁalʁaɪ]) are a Caucasian native ethnic group of the North Caucasus mostly inhabiting the Russian republic of Ingushetia. The Ingush are predominantly Sunni Muslims and speak the Ingush language. Despite popular misconceptions Ingush is not mutually intelligible with Chechen though they are closely related. The Ingush and Chechen peoples are collectively known as the Vainakh.
