Regioonilist

Regioonilist is a term found in Estonian-language texts formed from regioon (region) and list. Because it is not a standardized term in major dictionaries, its meaning depends on context. In data and information management, regioonilist may refer to a structured list of administrative regions, including region identifiers, official names, and attributes such as population, area, and geographic boundaries. Such lists are commonly used in geographic information systems, statistical reporting, and public administration to organize data by region and to support regional planning and service delivery.

In political or theoretical discourse, regioonilist might appear as a descriptor for someone who advocates regionalism or for materials that promote a regionalist perspective. However, in formal Estonian, more common terms exist to express these ideas, so regioonilist is often seen as a neologism or context-specific usage rather than a standard label.

Etymology and usage notes: regioonilist signals an inventory or catalog related to regions, but without a widely accepted definition, so its exact sense is driven by the surrounding text. The term may occur in technical documents, data schemas, or informal writing, where authors intend a regional focus.
