Map Description:
"Two great language families dominate the territory of the Soviet Union. The larger is the Slavonic, comprising the closely related Russian, Ukrainian and Belorussian. Native speakers of Russian extend from the Gulf of Finland to the Pacific; nevertheless they are now less than half the total population. The other family is the Turkic, most of whose recognized languages and dialects are intercomprehensible: it extends from the Azerbayjan to Yakutia. Other non-Indo-European language families include the Finnic to the north and the Caucasian group to the south."
