How to read this table
The list includes not only indigenous languages but also Russian and English for comparison. These rows allow for a comparison between the use of traditional dialects and popular state and foreign languages. This comparison helps illustrate the share of indigenous small-numbered peoples' languages in the daily speech of the region's residents relative to widely used languages
What is visible in these numbers
There are 153 values in the table out of 725 possible, which is 21.1%. A smaller part of the table is filled, so a direct comparison of items between periods may be misleading
Census data on languages are needed for product localization and audience assessment of regional media
More in the section Results of the All-Russian Population Census»
Period and application
The statistics are based on the 2020 Census results and reflect the situation at that time. The information is relevant for demographers, linguists, and ethnographers studying the preservation of cultural heritage. Rosstat data provides a view of the linguistic composition of the Kamchatka Krai population without time-series breakdowns
How it is calculated
Source caveats: Individual respondents indicated belonging to more than one indigenous small-numbered people
* Oтдельные респонденты указали принадлежность более чем к одному коренному малочисленному народу
