Text example
The Stag (Chechen folk song)

Lamanax duxd�ylu şal şiyla şovdanş
Şien bеq'a�u kiyrana ʡabbalca ca moluş,
ʡin k'orgie b�ylş, mеla muj m�yluş,
Varşan yistie yolu marğal siyna buc
Şien �zda�u z�rxana buzzalca ca yuuş,
Orcal laxab�yluş, sеma lad�yğş,
I��arxo�un t�puo lacarna, q�ruş,
Dеxa�u diegana butq'aga mott ȟ�quş,
Moqazan bеrdax k�rana ga ȟ�quş,
Popan oramax torğala t'a dеttaş,
Lеrgaş d�ȟal t�ysuş, kur arq'al t�ysuş,
Gu lеqa b�yluş, ğеlaşka va ğеrğaş,
Masanie say liela ğеlaşca va bocuş!
Vay bien dac, va k'еntiy, �lar ca x�luş?
