How to read this table
Rows vary by data type: they cover the total number of respondents reporting language proficiency, a list of specific languages, and the category of persons who did not specify their nationality. Comparing values across rows helps assess language proficiency coverage within each national group, aiding the understanding of linguistic diversity in the republic. The breakdown into 105 items provides a detailed view of each language reported by respondents, identifying the most common communication skills among the region's various ethnic groups
What is visible in these numbers
Of 375 possible values, 298 (79.5%) 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 data on languages are needed for product localization and for assessing the audience of regional media
