http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/deutschsprachig

The Duden-page says, that 'deutschsprachig' is an adjective.

And this adjective is not in use as a noun in German.

There exist several phrases with this word. But adjectives require 
something, to what they are an attribute.

So you cannot use 'der deutschsprachige' without saying, what is 
deutschsprachig.

You could say 'deutschsprachige Minderheit in Russland' 
(German-speaking minority in Russia).

You could even say 'Deutsche Minderheit in Russland' (Minority of 
Germans in Russia).

But it gets difficult, once you talk about Germans in Austria.

The Austrians speaking German are not called 'Deutscher' (German), but 
'Österreicher' (Austrians).
