Lenguage Ukrainian

The Ukrainian is an East Slavic language, one of the three that form this group of languages, the other two being Russian and Belarusian . Written Ukrainian bears somesimilarities to both languages, although with significant differences. The Belarusian and Ukrainian language emerged Ruthenian old or middle. However, Ukrainian spoken vocabulary ismore like the Polish, which some attribute in part to the influence of the
ruthenium Polish and Ukrainian.
The Ukrainian language is currently emerging from a long period ofdecline. Although there are almost fifty million Ukrainians worldwide, including 37.5 million in Ukraine (77.8% of the total population), only in western Ukraine is the Ukrainianlanguage prevails. In Kiev speaks both Russian and Ukrainian, a marked change from the recent past when the city was primarily Russian-speaking. The change has been causedlargely by the influence of the rural population and migration from the western regions of Ukraine but also by some natives of Kiev who resorted to the language spoken at home and ineveryday life. In northern and central Ukraine, Russian is the language of the urban population, while Ukrainian is much more common in rural areas. In southern and easternUkraine, Russian prevails even in rural areas, and in the Ukrainian Crimea is almost absent.
You can expect an increase in the use of the Ukrainian language in Ukraine, while therural population (still overwhelmingly ucranófona) migrate to cities and originates wider use in central Ukraine. The literary tradition of Ukrainian is developing rapidly,overcoming the consequences of a long period of hindrance to their development by direct suppression or simply the lack of incentive policies for the state.
