Speakers or speaking people?
Hi there,
Hope you're having a good day/night
I need an advice from native speakers
I am quite confused with the difference between these two options.
Sometimes I see russian-speaking people, sometimes just russian speakers.
For example:
a quote from Wiki
"
... a number of Russian speakers have remained in Finland. There are 33,400 Russian-speaking Finns, ...
"
Which one and when is right?
I need to figure out a correct wording for a name of our organisation
"Art Society of Russian Speaking in Ireland."
If I would translate it I'd go for "speaking" but it doesn't sound to me correctly, "speakers" sounds better.
Please advice
Looking forward to hearing from you
Regards
Alex

Both are correct. Explaining when to hyphenate is complex and you should search on the internet. Wikipedia gives such an explanation.

- I cannot envisage what the object of your society is, so cannot suggest how to phrase it.
