Fyappiy
The ''Fyappins'' ( inh, фаьппий, fäppiy) were an Ingush subgroup (''society'') that mostly inhabited the mountainous Fappi region of Ingushetia in the Caucasus. Historically they bordered on the west with Dzherakh, on the east with Khamkhins, on the north with Nazranians, and lastly in the south with Gudomakarians. The centre of the society was the fortified village (''aul'') of Erzi or Metskhal. During the 16–17th centuries, part of the ''Fyappins'' migrated to Tusheti, Georgia, due to a lack of land. The descendants of the migrants are known as Bats people. In the 17–18th centuries, another wave of migration accured, to the region of Aukh (modern day Dagestan). In 1733, due to the worry of expansion of Ottoman Turks in the region, ''Fyappins'' tried to establish ties with Kingdom of Kartli. As the Russian Empire started expanding its territories in the Caucasus Region 19th century, Caucasian War broke out. During the war, ''Fyappin'' Society was devasted aft ...

Ingush Societies
Ingush societies/shahars ( inh, ГIалгIай шахьараш, Ghalghaj šaꜧaraš) were territorial associations of the Ingush based on the geographical association of several villages and intended for conditional administrative-territorial delimitation of the Ingush ethnic group. The formation and functioning of most of them dates back to the late Middle Ages (XVI-XIX centuries). During this period, their boundaries, number and names changed. The names of societies mainly came from the names of the area of their localization, that is, they were based on the geographical principle. Despite the fact that during this period the Ingush lived in relatively closed conditions of mountain gorges, which contributed to more demarcation in terms of territoriality than rallying around a single center, they retained the self-consciousness of a single ethnic group based on a common culture and a single language. Ingush societies in the literature are sometimes called "shahars" ( in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
