Abstract: The article examines the processes of formation of complex words in the Nakh languages, which include the Chechen, Ingush and Batsbi languages. The study focuses on the structural and semantic features of compound words, as well as the mechanisms of their formation. Particular attention is paid to the typology and classification of compound words, including various patterns of combination of roots and affixes, as well as the role of syntactic and morphological factors in these processes. Examples from various areas of vocabulary, such as everyday, technical and scientific terminology, are analyzed in order to identify general patterns and specific features for each of the Nakh languages. Historical and comparative aspects are also considered, showing the influence of contacts with other languages on the formation of complex words. The study is based on modern data on the morphology and syntax of the Nakh languages, as well as on materials from field research. The article emphasizes the importance of studying compound words for understanding the general structure and dynamics of Nakh languages, as well as for the further development of theoretical models of composition in Caucasian languages. The results obtained can be useful for linguists involved in comparative studies, morphology and typology, as well as for teachers and students studying Nakh languages.
