How to read this table
A selection of 124 rows allows for the comparison of indicators across different language groups. It is possible to compare both the total number of speakers of a specific language and the distribution of responses within each ethnic group. Separate rows identify those who reported language proficiency, and data are provided for specific languages, such as English, offering a detailed view of the region's linguistic diversity at the time of the survey
What is visible in these numbers
Set indicators: Total population; Those who indicated nationality; of them — Russians; of them — Tatars; of them — Armenians; of them — Mordvins; of them — Ukrainians; of them — Azerbaijanis; of them — Other nationalities; Nationality not indicated
Of 250 possible values, 230 (92%) are filled. There are gaps, but they are isolated: observations were not always conducted for some positions
