More oblast should be at least in grey[edit]

More Eastern and Southern Oblasts should be at least in grey if not in blue as the vehicular language used on day-by-day base by the majority o the population is Russian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.53.111.205 (talk) 17:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Language map[edit]

This map is not properly sourced. The source cited doesn't saying anything about specific regions, and given the numbers in the source, it seems highly unlikely that this map is correct. LokiiT (talk) 22:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which map exactly you mean? --Riwnodennyk ✉ 23:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This one. It doesn't make any sense when you compare it to the one showing % of Russian speakers. Why is Odessa grey but Zaporizhia and Kharkiv orange? LokiiT (talk) 18:52, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about stats, but the description gives: orange is Ukrainian language dominates as the native language, blue is the Russian language dominates as the native language and grey is Bi-lingual, with a slight Ukrainian language lead.--Riwnodennyk ✉ 22:57, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, which means if Odessa is grey, so should be Zaporizhia and Kharkiv, since they all have similar percentages speaking Russian. LokiiT (talk) 23:01, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just fixed it myself and changed grey to purple since grey usually means no data in maps. LokiiT (talk) 23:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What the heck does this mean?[edit]

What the heck does this mean? Can somebody who knows Ukrainian visit the source document and give some explanation as to what the meaning of the below is?

The right of school education in native language is provided (in 2007/08) for 116% Hungarians, 107% Russians, 103% Ukrainians, 70% Romanians and Moldovans, 25% Crimeans, 10% Poles.

And what does it mean? Maybe I haven't read the proper source carefully, but it doesn't seem to contain smth like this. If it does, please provide the number of the page with this info.--//Microcell// 16:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian?[edit]

Could someone tell me what is the status of the Romanian language in Ukraine, given the fact that the 338,427 ethnic Romanians form the third largest ethnic group in Ukraine after Ukrainians and Russians. SISPCM (talk) 16:39, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Indigenous"[edit]

The Tatars are certainly not indigenous to Crimea, so neither is their language. I think someone confused "indigenous" for "native." PametUGlavu (talk) 21:19, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Crimean Tatars are certainly indigenous to Crimea, so is their language. I think you confused "Crimean Tatars" for "Volga Tatars" and you have probably never heard about the Ukrainian Law "On the indigenous peoples of Ukraine". OlesYakovyshyn (talk) 15:01, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

88% / 34%[edit]

How can 88% of the population use one language, but 34% uses another? 2600:100B:B136:E13C:CC73:B1B2:AE18:D469 (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can more people speak Ukrainian at work and school than speak it at home? Do some of them have reason to not want relatives to know that they speak Ukrainian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1014:B1A0:F7B9:DD1C:210F:A0A2:86D (talk) 02:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
