How to read this table
Table rows are distinguished by specific language, covering a wide range from Abaza to Yukaghir, allowing assessment of the scale of use of each language individually. For each of the 105 listed languages the total number of speakers is recorded, together with the number who also speak English or Russian. Comparing the rows shows how widely each indigenous small‑numbered people’s language is used and the extent of bilingualism with English or Russian
What is visible in these numbers
There are 608 values in the table out of 1 175 possible, which is 51.7%. There are many gaps: a significant part of the positions were observed only in separate periods, and such series should be compared with each other cautiously
Census data on languages are needed for product localization and estimating the audience of regional media
More in the section Results of the All-Russian Population Census»
Period and application
The 2020 All‑Russian Population Census is the primary source for the information presented in this table as of October 2020. The data help professional ethnographers, linguists, social researchers and language‑preservation specialists obtain an accurate picture of the current situation. The statistics allow assessment of the coverage and prevalence of languages among the corresponding indigenous small‑numbered peoples at the time of the large‑scale survey
How it is calculated
Source caveats: Individual respondents indicated affiliation with more than one indigenous small-numbered people
* Oтдельные респонденты указали принадлежность более чем к одному коренному малочисленному народу
