: I really enjoyed reading the messages concerning the beautiful Ukrainian language.
: However, some of the people involved with the discussions seem narrow minded and shallow. How do the Unkrainian people feel about making concessions for other languages? For example, the langauge of the Carpathian peoples and the other minorities in the country.
: Do UKrainians really wish the "Ukrainize" the country just to overcome the problem with Russian? Furthermore, it would be nice to see a revival of Yiddish in the Unkraine. Ukrainians will speak Ukrainian if they desire to do so. A extreme policy concerning official status will not help the Ukrainian language flourish. In fact, I think it will destroy the dignity of what Ukrainians really want for their country.

Who is narrow minded,the people that miss the point of this discussion.To the point,would you like to see the President and Parliment speak in foreign language to the people in your country,go to it man and good luck to you too.This discussion is not what language people should talk.If people want to talk in any language let them talk,who in hell cares.The Ukrainian language must be official in the country.So there,any more funny stories or suggestions about language.Thanks a lot,have a pleasant day.
