Russia
Of Russia's estimated 150m population, it is thought that over 81% speak the official language of Russian
as their first and only language. Most speakers of a minority language are also bilingual speakers of Russian.
There are over 100 minority languages spoken in Russia today, the most popular of which is Tatar (Tartar), spoken by more than 3% of the country's population.
Other minority languages include Ukrainian, Chuvash, Bashir, Mordvin, Circassian and Chechen.
Although few of these populations make up even 1% of the Russian population, these languages are prominent in key regional areas.
