How to read this table
The row distinctions allow for viewing not only the linguistic specifics of indigenous peoples but also the context of proficiency in other languages, such as Russian and English. This facilitates correlating the use of minority languages with the primary languages of communication in an urban environment. Indicators are presented in quantitative terms based on census respondent data
What is visible in these numbers
Of 1 000 possible values, 191 (19.1%) are filled. The data are sparse — for many positions, observations were not conducted for the entire period, and summary totals for them should not be calculated
Census results on ethnic composition and languages are used in planning school teaching of native languages, assessing the need for translation of public services, and in ethnographic research

Period and application
Statistics are based on the 2020 census results and are published by Rosstat as part of the national population composition data. This information is relevant for ethnographers, sociologists, and those studying linguistic situations in metropolitan areas. The data represents a single point in time and is not subject to annual updates
How it is calculated
Note in the source: Individual respondents indicated affiliation with more than one indigenous small-numbered people
* Oтдельные респонденты указали принадлежность более чем к одному коренному малочисленному народу
