Chechen sounds like a cross between Russian, Turkish and Arab. Georgian sounds similar to Albanian.

Chechen is from the Vaynakh branch of the North East Caucasian language family and has no connection to Slavic, Turkic or Semitic languages apart from a few Russian loanwords, however not nearly as much as Portuguese has Arabic loanwords.

"Phonology: Some phonological characteristics of Chechen include its wealth of consonants and sounds similar to Arabic and the Salishan languages of North America, as well as a large vowel system resembling those of Swedish and German."

"Most Chechen vocabulary is derived from the Nakh branch of the Northeast Caucasian language family, although there are significant minorities of words derived from Arabic (i.e. Islamic terms, like "Iman", "Ilma", "Do'a") and a smaller amount from Turkic (like "kuzga", "shish"), belonging to the universal Caucasian stratum of borrowings) and most recently Russian (modern terms, like computer – "kamputar", television – "telvideni", televisor – "telvizar", metro – "metro" etc.)."

Stop being so sensitive every time someone says something you disagree with. I just gave my honest opinion on how the language sounds like to me.

Chechen sounds like Tlingit, Celtic and Hebrew
Ossetian sounds like Slavic, Turkish, Persian, Lithuanian and a little bit French
Georgian sounds like Greek, Armenian, Indian and Hebrew

The ossetian language looks fine, this accent would be easy for a Hungarian. The other two is very strange.
