language functions, world language, regional language, contact language, diaspora language, the Russian language.Abstrak
Languages have four functions outside their basic territory. These functions are the function of the world languages, the function of the regional language, the function of the contact language and the function of the diaspora language. The Russian language has all these functions. The world role of Russian was indisputable in the Soviet time; it was the main competitor of English. However, the international role of Russian diminished after the defeat of the Soviet Union in the cold war. The role of the regional languages remains in the territory of separate parts of the former USSR but it is reducing too. However, everyday contacts of people of different
nationalities (commerce, health resorts, etc.) on Russian are increased. Besides Russian has become the language of minorities in the new states on the territory of the former Soviet Union.
