Overview

Ukrainian is an East Slavic language of the Indo-European language family, spoken primarily in Ukraine. It is the native language of Ukrainians. Written Ukrainian uses the Ukrainian alphabet, a variant of the Cyrillic script. The standard Ukrainian language is regulated by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NANU; particularly by its Institute for the Ukrainian Language), the Ukrainian language-information fund, and Potebnia Institute of Linguistics. Comparisons are often drawn to Russian, another East Slavic language, but there is more mutual intelligibility with Belarusian. Additionally, spoken Ukrainian has partial intelligibility with Polish. Ukrainian is a descendant of Old East Slavic, a language spoken in the medieval state of Kievan Rus'. In the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the language developed into Ruthenian, where it became an official language, before a process of Polonization began in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. By the 18th century, Ruthenian diverged into regional variants and the modern Ukrainian language developed in the territory of present-day Ukraine. Russification saw the Ukrainian language banned as a subject from schools and as a language of instruction in the Russian Empire, and continued in various ways in the Soviet Union. However, the language continued to see use throughout the country, and remained particularly strong in Western Ukraine. Linguistic development

Notable quotes

“How many people in Europe or North America know that Kyiv is the largest Russian-speaking city in the world outside of Russia? How many are aware that Ukraine has been one of Europe’s most multicultural communities for centuries?”
— Vladislav Davidzon and Peter Dickinson, "Revealing Europe’s Best-Kept Secret" (March 13, 2016)
“Russian anti-cultists continue to offer increasingly preposterous arguments to justify Putin’s crimes and horrors in Ukraine. “Cults” are de-humanized by their rhetoric, and by being “cultists” Ukrainians are something less than humans. The war is finally [described] as a giant collective deprogramming—and those who cannot be successfully deprogrammed are killed.”
— Massimo Introvigne, "“Ukraine in Itself Is a Cult”: A New Absurd Claim by Russian Propaganda", Bitter Winter (October 18, 2023)
“Ukraine is showing Belarus an example of how one should fight for freedom. I am sure that our countries have a common future in Europe, where neither Ukrainians nor Belarusians will die.”
— Vladimir Neklyaev, a Belarusian opposition leader, quoted on CBS News, "As Ukraine protests grow, slain demonstrators mourned", January 26, 2014.
“In Ukraine, you don't build a democracy; it already exists. You just defend it and exactly this. What makes Ukraine unique, its struggle deeply and profoundly...”
— Petro Poroshenko, speech to the U.S. Congress (18 September 2014)
“Here begins Ukraine’s great debate – still raw, still undecided: are Ukrainians Central Europeans, like the Poles, or a species of Russian? Poles used to call western Ukraine ‘Eastern Little Poland’; the Russian name for Ukraine was ‘Little Russia.'”
— Anna Reid Borderland: a journey through the history of Ukraine (2015) p 16
“Any signature to a deal on forming a new Soviet Union means the breakup of the country.”
— Arseniy Yatsenyuk, a prominent opposition member, quoted on BBC News, "Ukraine's capital Kiev gripped by huge pro-EU demonstration", December 8, 2013.
