The Aukh dialect[2][3] (Chechen: Ӏовхойн диалект, romanized: 'Ovkhoyn dialekt, Russian: Ауховский диалект, romanized: Aukhovskiy dialekt) is a dialect of the Chechen language, It is primarily spoken by residents in the northern part of Dagestan,[4] and the estimated number of speakers is about 160 thousand.

In the Aukh dialect, similar to the Chechen language, there is an absence of words with the voiceless fricative consonant [f] which is more common in Ingush.

Additionally, both the Aukh dialect and the Chechen literary language exhibit vowel nasalization, particularly at the end of words, unlike Ingush.

The vowel system of the Aukh dialect closely resembles that of the Chechen literary language.

[5] Transitional between it and Ingush,[6] the Aukh dialect is similar to the Chechen dialect in that in its verb forms, as in Chechen, the vowels [ø] ⟨оь⟩ and [y] ⟨уь⟩ are widespread, while in Ingush they are very rare.
