All Languages that Use Cyrillic

Can you name every extant language that currently uses the Cyrillic alphabet as a primary alphabet?

Languages with asterisks next to them do not use Cyrillic exclusively

Number of native speakers and language family are given as hints

Primary sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_alphabets, https://www.omniglot.com/writing/cyrillic.htm

I decided not to include Interslavic, Old Church Slavonic, or Slovio, as they have no living native speakers (as far as I can tell)

I don't think Romanian uses Cyrillic. I mean, maybe unofficially, but in all instances I've seen Romanian, it's in the Latin script.

It's very rare, but it is used in Transnistria so I decided to include it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldovan_Cyrillic_alphabet
