How to read this table
The rows in this dataset are categorized into groups: indigenous small-numbered peoples' languages are listed separately from Russian and English. Comparing these rows helps illustrate the share of specific language proficiency relative to widely spoken languages. The data covers a wide range of dialects presented in the census results, enabling an analysis of the region's linguistic composition at a specific point in time
What is visible in these numbers
102 out of 725 possible values are filled (14.1%). A smaller part of the table is filled, so direct comparison of items between periods may be misleading
Census results on ethnic composition and languages are used in planning school instruction of native languages, assessing the need for translation of public services, and ethnographic research
