Ukrainian belongs to the East Slavic subgroup of Slavic languages. It serves as the official state language of Ukraine and is popularly used in the Ukrainian-majority areas of Russia called Balachka or Surzhyk. The language underwent a lengthy period of decline. It overcame a lot of challenges and is now emerging stronger than before, which has created opportunities for Ukrainian translation services like Ukrainian to English and English to Ukrainian translation. The following facts would help shed a clearer light on the requirements of Ukrainian translation.
- At present there are approximately 50 million native Ukrainians across the whole world. Out of these, around 37.5 million live in Ukraine.
- In Ukraine itself, it is the western part of the country where the Ukrainian language is popular. Russian is the language of choice for the urban population residing in central and north Ukraine. Russian alone is popular in the eastern and southern areas. The usage of Ukrainian in rural areas like Crimea is almost negligible.
- Ukrainian is written using the Cyrillic alphabet. Its vocabulary has similarities with languages like Russian, Slovak and Belarusan which are spoken in the neighboring Slavic countries.
- Linguistics experts have forecasted an increase in the usage of the Ukrainian language due to migration of the largely Ukrainian speaking rural population into the cities. This would ensure that the language enters into more popular usage. One can already see positive developments in the form of a rapidly developing literary tradition.
- The Ukrainian alphabet has 33 letters that represent 38 phonemes. The alphabet has been developed from the Cyrllic writing system. It includes 6 vowels and 2 approximants. There are three types of consonants namely, hard, soft and long.
- The Ukrainian grammar has a very rich structure. The nouns have gender and number. Verbs have 2 aspects, 3 tenses, 2 voices and 3 moods.
- The various Ukrainian dialects are broadly categorized into Polissian or Northern dialects, Southeastern dialects, Southwestern dialects and the Rusyn language. These broad categorizations further include many more dialects.
