How to read this table
The table rows group languages into categories: Russian and Tuvan are listed separately, alongside a list of indigenous small-numbered peoples' languages. Indicators can be compared by the number of people who identified a particular language as their primary language. This shows the distribution of linguistic diversity within the region and identifies the most widespread indigenous languages among the republic's population
