The article in question is dedicated to the analysis of how legal instruments shape language policy on preserving and developing the languages of title ethnic groups (ethnos) of the territories having the republican status – the Komi Republic and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The main aspect of analysis is language management implementation on both state and local levels. Thus, the federal- and regional-level legislation on language policy in the Komi Republic and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) has been thoroughly studied. Bernard Spolsky’s approach to understanding the constitutive aspects of language policy is taken as a theoretical ground. The authors exploited statistical data of the All-Union Census of 1989 and of the All-Russia Census of 2010 to trace both the development dynamics of the language situation in the above-mentioned regions and the results of language management implementation. It has been revealed as a result that legal framework of language management underwent considerable changes in mechanisms of its implementation. These changes ensured some positive implications for the languages development of the analysed title ethnic groups. The most conspicuous positive developments are there in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The language management here finds its expression in the well-balanced policy aimed at strengthening the state languages – the Russian languages and the Yakut language – on basis of their equality. Yet, the legal framework of language management requires further refining, especially when it comes to clear distinction of legal status and powers of the Russian language and title ethnic languages of the republics under analysis.
