Note:
As the
Istro-Romanian people who are
scattered around the world know, there is substantially more than one
native speaker of "Vlaški" remaining in Istria. Obviously, part of the
discrepancy in these statitstics is caused by the separate Romanian category for the same
linguistic speakers, and perhaps also there are speakers of the same
language who
are included in the "Unknown" and "Other" categories.
Similarly, another spoken language of
Istria that is not duly represented in the 2001 census is the Istriot
language speakers who may have been counted as "Italian" or else are
including the same "Unknown" and "Other" categories.
