Russian
The Russian language is the state language of the Russian Federation and the most spoken language in the country. Russian Wikipedia contains more articles than all of the other Wikipedias in languages of Russia. Since almost all residents of Russia understand Russian, Russian Wikipedia is used as a backbone for constructing Wikipedia in other languages. Infoboxes, templates, geographical categorization etc. are ported to other language editions from the Russian one.
Tatar
The Tatar language is the second most spoken language in Russia. The majority of Tatar speakers live within Russia and currently use Cyrillic script for writing, which is the only script approved by the Russian law of 2002.
Tatar Wikipedia initially started using Zamanalif Latin script, but is currently predominantly written in Cyrillic. Following the law "On use of Tatar as a state language in the Republic of Tatarstan", approved by the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan during its 36th session[2] on 24 December 2012[3], the only accepted Latin script for Tatar is Uniform Turkic Alphabet.
Chuvash
The Wikipedia in the Chuvash language has the second-highest article count among Wikipedias in languages of Russia.
Ossetian
Wikipedia in the Ossetian language.
Komi
Wikipedia in the Komi language.
Livvi-Karelian
