How to read this table
Table rows divide language groups into those specified by the population and highlight Russian and Yakut separately. Comparing these rows helps to understand what percentage of speakers use their native language alongside the state language. Columns allow for the comparison of group sizes across different language families, from small groups to more numerous communities
What is visible in these numbers
There are 175 values in the table out of 825 possible, which is 21.2%. There are many missing values — some positions were observed only in certain periods, which should be taken into account when comparing
Census data on languages are needed for product localization and for assessing the audience of regional media

Period and application
The 2020 All-Russian Population Census forms the basis for this data on the Sakha Republic. The information will be useful to ethnographers, sociologists, and anyone studying the linguistic situation in Russia's regions. New data on this topic only becomes available during subsequent population censuses
How it is calculated
As noted in the source itself: Certain respondents indicated affiliation with more than one indigenous small-numbered people
* Oтдельные респонденты указали принадлежность более чем к одному коренному малочисленному народу
