Your map
Hey, thanks for making this map. It looks really good on the page. I just wanted to point out: it might give readers wrong impressions about Dvals and Kists. With regard to both, the different coloring might give the incorrect impression taht they were independent from Georgia, which they weren't. They were (and still are, in the case of the Kists) ethnic minorities living within the Georgian realm. Also, to put hte Kists on a map also including Malkhicho is a little incorrect, as the Malkh disappeared a millenium before the Kists first migrated South (unless you're referring to Kists in the Medieval Georgian usage, which didn't refer to the modern people in Georgia but just to Vainakh people in general). I would suggest you color the Dval area the same as Georgia but maybe with a dashed line or something, and remove the Kists. --Yalens (talk) 18:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I know that it might do so, but I am updating the map, I will create more clear borders around the colors, so people can get a better view of where the people actually lived.
 * As to Malkh people, their state was destroyed by the Mongols, so this map is set before the Mongol invasions.
 * And for the Kists, they have always lived in Georgia (most likely) though some migration and immigration by other Vainakh might have happened.
 * Hope this clarifies the situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deni Mataev (talk • contribs) 17:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure hte Kists migrated in the 18th/19th centuries (that's why their language isn't significantly distinct from their northern neighbors), tons of sources say this ans whatnot. It's true that Nakh peoples had previously inhabited the area, such as Tsova-Tush... but these are distinct from Kists, at least in the modern sense of the word. --Yalens (talk) 01:08, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's what I was thinking (that it was used for the Bats). "Kist" can be a really
 * Really? I remember watching this documentary about them . As well as reading about them later on about that they have always been in the area.
 * But, if this is incorrect I will of course change it, as "Kist" might have been used for Bats people maybe Deni Mataev (talk) 10:13, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
 * A lot of sources mention their 19th century migration. For example, here " Today,

most of the inhabitants of the Pankisi region are descendants of ethnic Chechens and Ingush (who together share the common ethnonym ìVainakhî) who migrated into the region from the North Caucasus between 1830 and 1870. Called "Kists" in Georgian, they are typically bilingual in Chechen and Georgian and number approximately 5,000" (http://iseees.berkeley.edu/bps/publications/2002_03-kurt.pdf). I think the confusion is probably because, as you noted, sometimes the word Kists can be used to mean other Nakh peoples (i.e. like Bats) historically in Georgian.--Yalens (talk) 19:36, 10 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Very well then. I will change the name to Bats for the area for the next update. I will most likely be adding in more areas around and I will split up Georgia into more people, as well as Alania, though there will be a clear line showing that these countries will be united and show which people and is independent and not.

DRN case closed
I have closed the DRN case for Ingush people, as you brought the matter to AN3's attention and a participant was blocked.

It is a short block. If, on his or her return, you feel that this can be worked out without going down the conduct resolution path (ANI, etc), please do reopen the case with DRN. We're happy to work with you guys on this issue.

Thank you.

Request translation Isabelle de Charriere
Hello Deni Mataev Would you write/ translate the article of Isabelle de Charrière (Q123386) for de CE wiki? That would be appreciated. Boss-well63 (talk) 14:10, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello, I'm indeed a native speaker of Chechen, however I am not proficient at written Chechen, and I do not know the written grammar.
 * I'm therefore, regrettably, unable to translate and write a proper article in Chechen. Deni Mataev (talk) 22:04, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay Could you try the same article for the NO wikipedia? Boss-well63 (talk) 22:29, 22 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd be able to do that. It might take a little while. Deni Mataev (talk) 22:45, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
