Abstract: This article reflects a retrospective view of the problem of preserving native languages in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The purpose of the article is to reveal the factors affecting the preservation of the native language among national minorities in the republic. The subject of the study is the Mari, Udmurt population. The sociological research method made it possible to reveal ethno-linguistic relations among these peoples in a synchronous aspect. The empirical basis of the article was made up of data from the 2020 All-Russian Population Census and an ethnosociological survey conducted by the author in 2020. The linguistic orientations of these ethnic groups are increasingly aimed at using the Russian language. At the same time a significant part of the population is focused on teaching their children simultaneously in their national native and Russian languages.
