: First of all there is standard transliteration table for instance at http://www.cad.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua/multiling/koi8-u/ukrorder.html
: Second, do not bullshit me with dialects. There is a regular Ukrainian language which I noticed you seem to know. Other people do not, but they think they do. That is what I pointed out.
: P.S. Do not teach me what pronouns I should use.
Yaroslav, you are very cruel. There are a lot of Ukrains who lived in places where wasn't any Ukrainian school, or even far from the borders of Ukrain. We speak and read in Ukrainian, but it is difficult for us to write in Ukrainian.
I know one Ukrainian woman, from these Ukrainians who don't want to know their language, and think they are Russians. When she listen that I speak with my childrens in Ukrainian, she said with scorn: "Why you speak this sh... language, you even are only half-Ukrainian!" So she has a perfect right to hate her language, to desprise her mother, to hate her land, but we haven't a right to speak and love Ukrainian?????????
