: 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.
