Indigenous small-numbered peoples of Magadan Region by native language

checked 19.10.2026 · snapshot · rows: 24 · periods: 26 · section: Results of the All-Russian Population Census (тав и владение языками)

Representatives of indigenous small-numbered peoples in Magadan Oblast are distributed by ethnicity and language preference according to the 2020 Census results. The table contains 24 rows, each referring to a specific ethnic group, from Abazins to Yukaghirs, and includes three indicators: total population, the number of people specifying a native language, and the number specifying Russian as their native language. These rows show that population sizes vary significantly—for example, only 6 Abazins compared to 69 Yukaghirs—and how often native language aligns with ethnicity. The data were obtained during the 2020 All-Russian Population Census and represent a snapshot in time, without longitudinal data for other years

How to read this table

The rows are categorized by ethnicity, allowing for a comparison of different population groups in the region. It is possible to compare the proportion of a specific ethnic group that retains its native language versus those who use Russian as their primary means of communication. This information helps illustrate the linguistic structure of the indigenous population of Magadan Oblast and the level of ethnic language proficiency among small-numbered peoples
