Why learn Ukrainian?
The Ukrainian language is one of the oldest East Slavic languages with a long and exciting history. The origin of the Ukrainian language is traced back to the early medieval state of Kyivan Rus (a powerful state located in the territory of modern Ukraine). This beautiful and melodic language has been in common use since the late 17th century when it was spoken by famous warriors called the Cossacks. By learning the Ukrainian language you can get closer to Ukrainian culture, folk songs and literature. The Ukrainian language is spoken by approximately 40 million people. The largest Ukrainian communities are in Russia (more than 3 million people), Canada (around 1,5 million people) and the United States (1 million people).
Interesting facts about Ukrainian
The first words ever written in Ukrainian are dated to the year 448 AD. At that period, the Eastern Roman diplomat and historian Priscus of Panium was on the territory of modern Ukraine in the camp of the ruler Attila. He wrote down the words «мед» (honey) and «страва» (dish).
During the time of the Russian Empire the Ukrainian language was banned from usage in the majority of modern Ukraine. However, it has always maintained a sufficient base in Western Ukraine, where the language was never banished.
Nowadays, Ukrainian usage is increasing. The language has become popular in other countries through movies and songs performed in Ukrainian.
