@Umar: Please provide exact steps to reproduce the problem that leave no room for interpretation. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug

When I go to google.com and am not logged in and enter Соьлжа-ГӀала I get these results:

gen.png (779×437 px, 44 KB)

When I go to google.ru and am not logged in and enter Соьлжа-ГӀала I get these results:

gru.png (771×493 px, 49 KB)

Google does not display "Grozny.png" here, and I don't know why "нохчийн" (chechen) is being displayed by Google. Google might know... :)

This problem exists in other wikipedia

https://www.google.ru/search?q=%D0%93%D1%8A%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%87%D3%80%D0%B8+%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=hifMV5u7M8eC6QS5sKrQBw

True, not all articles

https://www.google.ru/search?q=%D0%A5%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B3%D1%8A+%D1%87I%D0%B0%D0%BB&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=SCfMV4j-OuHm6AT72ZvQBw

If the problem is in Google need to write to them). Thank you.

I'm closing this task as it seems to be something that Google adds and Wikimedia does not have control over that:

Using Bing.com and searching for Соьлжа-ГӀала, the additional нохчийн is not shown for the ce.wp result.
I can imagine Google adds нохчийн locally to allow users differentiating between Chechen Wikipedia and Russian Wikipedia results, as users likely don't compare the URLs first (ce. vs ru.).
Please contact Google if you'd like to sort that out.

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pagetitle and https://ce.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Pagetitle influence "by default" what's shown in the title, but the ce version never had "нохчийн" in there.

For future reference, links alone do not help: Your results might be different than mine. Links and screenshots help. :)
The first result that I get is ГъвечӀи панда — Википедия on lez.wp.

Sorry but I only know as much as you do. :)
https://www.google.ru/ has a Всё о Google link at the bottom and I'd hope that it provides some contact information.
