Encyclopedia: Ukrainian language

Ukrainian (украї́нська мо́ва, ukrayins'ka mova, [ukraˈjinʲsʲka ˈmɔʋa]) is a language of the East Slavic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is the official state language of Ukraine. Ukrainian uses a Cyrillic alphabet. It shares some vocabulary with the languages of the neighboring Slavic nations, most notably with Belarusian, Polish, Russian and Slovak.

The Ukrainian language traces its origins to the Old East Slavic language of the ancient state of Kievan Rus'. Formerly called Ruthenian, or Little Russian, Ukrainian (Ukrains'ka Mova), East Slavic language is a lineal descendant of the colloquial language used in Kievan Rus (10th–13th century).^[1]
