Sound of the Languages of Russia: The Remake (Russian + 49 Minority Languages)

Russia is a surprisingly linguistically diverse country, even though about 80% of its population is ethnic Russian. Most languages in Russia belong to the Indo-European, Uralic, and Turkic language families, as well as language families in the Caucasus Mountains. Russian is used as a lingua franca across the whole country and is the only official language nationwide. Some ethnicities have their own autonomous regions, called republics, where the local language is co-official with Russian (but for some reason, Karelia is the only republic where Russian is the sole official language). This is a video showcasing samples of some of the languages spoken in the Russian Federation. This is a remake of my old Languages of Russia video; I made a few mistakes in that video, and I wanted to address them in this video. Plus, I wanted to put it in line with my newer language videos. You can watch the old version here if you want: The language numbers focus on the number of speakers living in Russia. If you see any mistakes in this video (especially if I misidentified a language), please let me know. Enjoy the video!
