How to read this table
Table rows are divided into three types: the total number of people reporting language proficiency, specific languages such as English, and a list of nationalities. This structure allows for comparison of how frequently members of different ethnic groups name specific languages as being proficient. Comparisons can be made between the proportions of language speakers within a single nationality and the total number of people reporting proficiency relative to the entire population of the region
What is visible in these numbers
What is measured: Total population; Persons who indicated nationality; of whom — Russians; of whom — Ukrainians; of whom — Uzbeks; of whom — Belarusians; of whom — Tatars; of whom — Armenians; of whom — Tajiks; of whom — Azerbaijanis; of whom — Other nationalities; Nationality not indicated

Period and application
The statistics are based on the 2020 Census results and represent a one-time data snapshot without subsequent updates. The data is useful for linguists, sociologists, and researchers studying demographic processes and the ethnic composition of the Leningrad Oblast population. The information allows for an assessment of the region's linguistic diversity at the time of the last All-Russian Population Census
How it is calculated
Census results on ethnic composition and languages are used for planning the school teaching of native languages, assessing the need for translation of public services, and in ethnographic research
