russkogovojrschije and russkojazychnyje

[Olga Dobrunova]

I suppose it comes from the European linguistic tradition started by Ferdinand de Saussure and very common among Russian linguists to distinguish “speech” (as oral variant) and “language”(as a system of words, grammar rules etc). It is a very rough explanation.
I understand the meaning of “russkogovoryaschie” as an equivalent to what we call “heritage students” – people who can speak every-day Russian, but alliterate, not educated in Russian enough. “Russkoyazychnye” – who knows grammar and rules, and can speak and write in Russian on all possible topics correctly according to the Russian language standards and stylistics.
I think so,
