Chechen Clans

The Chechen people are subdivided into several ethnic groups, known as 'taip' (clan). At present, their number totals more than 150. According to some Chechen sources, in the middle of the last century, their number was a little over 100, while in the beginning of the last century, there were only 59 'taips'. Each 'taip' is composed of a united group of people, more or less, connected with blood relatives or strong moral obligations.

The number of persons in a 'taip' depends on the period of its existence.

Whether the 'taip' was based on blood-related bonds or not, it was the foundation of the Chechen culture and their way of life.

A firm and steady structure of a 'taip', is an integral part of the formation of the Chechen ethnic character. 'Taips' played an important role in the preservation of Chechen ethnos, which for example, created the forces to maintain the first Russia-Caucasus war, in the face of the strongest army in the world. The ethnology proves that the 'taip' organization didn't just appear from nowhere, but rather, as a result of logical searches and perfection. There is a legend, saying that the first 'taip' (about 20 people) formed and lived in the Nashkha area in the Caucasus mountains, and from them other 'taips' formed and came to the whole Chechen territory.
