The lack of special sociological research on the spheres and scales of functioning of Dagestan languages in an urban environment, forecasting language processes in the youth environment, determined the relevance of the topic of the article. Sociolinguistic research conducted in the conditions of Dagestan’s multilingual urban environment is also convenient for typological modeling of ethnolinguistic life and developing an optimal set of solutions for predicting the development of events in this area. The study aims to determine the prospects for the development of the linguistic situation in the Republic of Dagestan based on monitoring the sociolinguistic characteristics of the young urban population formed in a multilingual environment. The analysis of statistical data is based on questionnaires from 146 respondents-citizens aged 18 to 25 years old, covering three blocks of questions covering the problems of young citizens’ attitude to their native language; assessing the correlation of functions of Russian and national languages; the role of the language legislation of the Russian Federation in ensuring the uniform functioning of languages. The analysis allows us to conclude that there is an imbalance between Russian and national languages in the distribution of social roles, which affects the importance and prestige of each of the contacting languages. The fact that respondents found it difficult to answer questions from the field of assessment of state language policy and legislation allows us to characterize the insufficient role of the language legislation in ensuring the uniform functioning of languages. In general, the high level of linguistic patriotism shown by young citizens in answering questions about their attitude to their native language makes it possible to predict the relative vitality of Dagestan languages.
