Hi Eldad
I think this one can be rather translated into Russian as "В этой стране большинство жителей - мусульмане сунниты", that sounds less formal

Yes, you are right.
But I added this translation as yet another variant for the Russian sentence which I rendered already by three other formal-language sentences.
Do you think the current sentence is not a proper translation of the Russian original?

And, of course, you can add your Russian translation to my English sentence.

It means the same, but it's less formal in my opinion. I don't know English so well to say definitely.

OK, done.

I added this translation, in which I rendered "исповедует ислам суннитского толка" in a more straightforward language: are Sunni Muslims.

Yes, of course, my current sentence is not at all formal, while the three other variants I added to the Russian sentence are as formal as the Russian original itself.

Thanks.
