Talk:Demographics of Estonia

message: In fact, spoken finnish and estonian are ABSOLUTELY NOT mutually intelligible.
Both parties are with considerable effort able to make some sense from the written form, but virtually every time finnish and estonians meet, they resort to english. 
I will delete that part from the text as it is incorrect.
The edited form stands as:
"The two languages, even if close relatives in linquistic terms, are not mutually intelligible to native speakers."
-MrQ
Can't say that I agree. It is not effortlessly mutually intelligible, so people do revert to English as that's effortless (or actually the more common thing is that they revert to Finnish - pidgin Finnish), but with some effort it is possible to communicate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.196.245.85 (talk) 00:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm pretty sure that the Zulu mentioned in the article left the country a few years back. Should he be removed from the demoigraphic table, too?   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.27.67.160 (talk) 08:51, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The percentages of the different nationalities given in the paragraph "Ethnic groups" does not fit with the percentages from the CIA World factbook or the Estonian bureau of statistics. Where do these numbers come from? Do they exclude inhabitants with Russian citizenship?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thathánka Íyotake (talk • contribs) 14:46, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Any formalization of this belief?  Is it left over from animism or earlier paganism that's revived?  It's very interesting and not expounded upon. 97.85.168.22 (talk) 17:12, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Religion vs ethnicity 

message: The article doesn't make clear what percent of first-language Russian-speakers speak Estonian.
It also doesn't quite make clear what percent of first-language Estonian-speakers speak Russian.
(Although it says about 30% are L1 Russian, and 40% know Russian at all, so... about 14% of L1 Estonian speakers (who are about 70% of total population) learn Russian?)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remorinitio (talk • contribs) 13:47, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Ripas1997 added zeros in the Vital statsitics population table. Its changed like  1,316 ->  1,316,000   
I dont understand, why it's nessessary and this makes average year's population numbers even more unpunctual, as numbers are calculated always in thousands...  
Has someone more arguments to this change?
I'm sorry, I do like the idea to reverse this change.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maduk24 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
