: : Dear Charles,
: : I absolutely agree with you. I think that the Ukrainian society does not consist of ethnic Ukrainians only. Ukrainian Russians, Ukrainian Jews, Ukrainian Tartars etc are 100% Ukrainian citizens, the same as Ukrainian Ukrainians, and therefore they have the right for any democratic changes they want in the Ukrainian society. It could be language, constitution or whatever.
: : PS I've noticed that narrow-minded people are more vocal.
:
: You are completely right, Tartars, Judish, Russians are Ukrainian citizens. But if you want Russians make official, why we must offend Tartars or Judish?! Please, begin to study Judish, Havelok!
I agree! My grandparents spoke German and Romanian, because we had German and Romanian villages near by. Yes, I know some words in Yiddish and Hebrew. What is wrong with that? More languages we know richer we become culturally.
PS (It is Habelok. It is a Ukrainian word "габелок")
