    Today's video is a necessary one and it's been a while since I was planning on making it. The war in Ukraine is still making headlines, but here I just want to explore the Ukrainian language, its unique features, and its history. I know that at the moment anything concerning Ukraine becomes political, but here let's just see this beautiful language for what it is. I hope and wish languages always remain tools for connecting people and not a reason for conflict.

    скандынавы не заваёўвалі ўсходнеславянскія землі. не было тут чаго заваёўваць, гэта была не багатая заходняя Еўропа, дзе было што рабаваць. таму скандынавы арганізавалі праз водныя шляхі нашай тэрыторыі гандаль з Візантыяй. а нашыя далёкія продкі выкарысталі скандынаваў як наёмных кіраўнікоў, каторых можна лёгка мяняць. у выніку, у выйгрышу аказаліся ўсе.
    і наконт дзяржаўнай польскай мовы. сапраўды дзяржаўнай яна стала толькі ў позьняй Рэчы Паспалітай. а ў раньняй дзяржаўных моваў было дзьве: у Польшчы - латынь (так так, палякі не адразу дайшлі да таго, што можна карыстацца сваёй роднай мовай), а ў ВКЛ - старажытнарусінская (старабеларуская, стараўкраінская) мова, якая дала вытокі для сучаснай беларускай і украінскай моваў. але потым, так, пачаліся працэсы паланізацыі і польская мова стала дамінаваць ва ўсёй РП.
    а ў цэлым, так, украінская мова капец як плыўна гучыць. і хоць я не магу ёй карыстацца, але слухаць яе магу бясконца: цячэ як ручаінка.

      Так, і, тим більше, там про росіянську неправильно було сказано. Взагалі, у регіоні Новгорода була своя слов'янська мова, але, в інших регіонах сучасної Росії - ні. У Московії не було "росіянського народу", натомість, були різні угро-фінські й азіатські народи (зрозуміло, що вони руською не користувалися). Проте, церква використовувала церковно-слов'янську мову. Пізніше, церковно-слов'янську, вважай, силою розповсюдили по населенню і, після того, як вона трохи змішалася з місцевими мовами, з'явилася мова, яку зараз називають російською. А в Україні була своя жива слов'янська мова, яку використовував слов'янський народ. Ось і вся різниця.

    Thank you very much for the video about my native language!
    I was very impressed how you absolutely correctly described the meaning of the word "Ukraine" without myths about the "borderland" meaning (which are unfortunately present in almost every video about origin of Ukraine and Ukrainians). There is an old XVI century book "Peresopnytsia Gospel" where the term Ukraine is used for Biblical lands clearly in the meaning of "country", "land within the borders".
    Before the end of XIX century Ukrainians called themselves Rusyns in ethnic sense. Now this name is used only by small group of people in Carpathian area. In fact since XVI century both names were in use but Rusyn - meant ethnicity and Ukrainian meant "from Ukraine". Things started to change when one big neighbouring country usurped the name of Rus' and Rusyn nationalists had to switch to Ukrainian identity to give a chance for our nation to survive assimilation attempts.
    Ukrainian and Polish shared many words from the very start since our people were neighbours from the very start of Slavic resettlement. In fact Old Russian also had many those words that are falsely considered now as Polish borrowings. Later Old Russian was under huge influence of Old Church Slavonic (it was the only literary language there) and many original "North Slavic" words were replaced by South Slavic words there. Belarusian and Ukrainian were considered as dialects of one Rusyn language for a long time (possibly even up to XVIII century). Even now Ukrainians easily understand Belarusian and vice versa. At the same time we understand Russian mostly because it was imposed as a "language of prestige" and since we often hear it from the childhood. So we de facto have diglossia based on village-city line rather than west-east. People in villages speak Ukrainian in all parts of Ukraine (except for ethnic minority areas).
    For me English grammar is more difficult than Ukrainian one. We do not have Continuous time and classical Perfect time (we just use past tense verb with prefix that indicates the action is already finished). For me using prefixes and suffixes is much easier than using special verbs. But I am accustomed to it from the birth. I understand that for English speaker it is not an easy task.

    Grew up speaking English mostly but Portuguese as well. During high school I wanted to take German on and did an exchange in Stuttgart. Learning languages is totally addicting. For Spanish and Italian I watch stuff on Netflix and after a while my brain starts to understand them. What fascinates me is where languages merge and diverge creating for lack of a better word Creole style vernacular. One of my favorites is where Dutch starts to fade and French gradually takes over and people in between speak Flemish. Even how German and Dutch are related which heavily influenced English through the Saxons is fascinating. While my Portuguese is NE Brazilian I like hearing the language from Portugal much like I enjoy hearing the King's. Galician in Spain which in many ways is Portuguese but also not reminds me of hearing people from Scotland speak English. I gave Russian a shot about ten years ago on your sponsor and just made me a bit depressed that I'm running out of lifespan that limits my ability to learn more languages.

    1:28 The transition between Ukrainian and Russian is not abrupt at all if you go from West to East. "Pure" Ukrainian is spoken in and around Lviv but if you go to the East, you hear a transitional language variant called Surzhyk which is effectively marked as Ukrainian on this map. As you reach Donetsk, you'll notice that everybody speaks Russian.
    (This was true before the war, of course.)
    Rusyn is another story, it was heavily influenced by Hungarian (and, to a lesser extent, Slovak and Romanian, too, apart from Polish) and it was therefore exempt from the Ukrainian o -> i vowel shift. Rusyn, too, may be considered as at least two languages (Subcarpathian Rusyn with four and Pannonian Rusyn which is spoken in Vojvodina, Serbian, with one). Most Rusyns are Byzantine-rite Catholic while Ukrainians are predominantly Orthodox.

      Не треба розказувати про суржик, бо він приблизно однаковий і у Львові і на Луганщині і Донеччині, просто поширення суржику залежить від кількості окупантів. У Львові окупантів менше, тому менше людей говорять окупантською, а ось Київ, Донецьк і Луганськ окуповані давно і населені майже повністю окупантами. Але сільська населення і Донеччини і Луганщини, де нема окупантських еліт, говорить чудовою українською. Те саме стосується Києва, так бідне населення, старі бабусі і дідусі як говорили українською століття тому, так нею і говорять, а окупантські еліти подовжують говорити мовою свого вождям і насаджують її іншим, тому я знаю багатьох немісцевих жителів Києва з західної України родом, які перейшли на престижну окупантську мову, що є звичайним пристосуванством.
      Щодо перехідних мов, то їх є дві, там де українці сотнями літ мали стабільну межу з іншими слов'янами, це Полісся, де мова поступово змінюється з української на білоруську, а також Карпати, де українська переходить в русинську, а західніше сама русинська переходить в словацьку. Межі з північними окупантами у нас не було, тому немає перехідних діалектів, хіба на північному сході Чернігівщини. З поляками межа була, але вона проходила між містами Люблин, Судомир, Ряшів, Краків і знищена внаслідок асиміляції за сотні літ перебування цих земель у складі Польщі, тому польська і українська всюди має чітку межу.
      Щодо "чистої української", її можна почути в основному на Полтавщині, Харківщині, Черкащині та суміжних районах, це територія де розвивалася українська мова, в інших територіях українська мова зазвичай дуже змішана з місцевими діалектами, це особливо чути в Галичині, яка довго була відрізана кордоном від решти України.

    _Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine:_
    _Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus' but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus'._
    _Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, “Russia” is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise._
    _Its name “Russia" received only in the 18th century, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “All Russian Empire” (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus')_
    _Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian._
    _Lands that Russia (Muscovy) claims were part of the original Rus', but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus'. They can be considered parts of extended Rus', although their culture was distinct from main Rus'._
    _In 1493, Muscovite duke Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus'. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus' ownership._
    _“Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and Russian (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village._
    _Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what Russia (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!_

    There is a Hebrew and Yiddish dialect called the Galitzianer dialect, from Ukeraine.
    Most Hassidim still use it, and it is preserved in modern Hebrew in words like Srulik (for a private name Israel) and Shmil (for the private name Shmuel). This is like Lvov is now called Lviv.
    Hebrew and Yiddish U - is pronounced [I] (ee)
    Hebrew and Yiddish O (like boat or note) is pronounced Oy.
    Hebrew and Yiddish [ou] Aw (like in saw, bought, law, corn)- is pronounced U (oo)
    Hebrew and Yiddish Ey (like the way the letter name A is pronounced) - is pronounced [ai] like "buy" or "high" and "sigh"
    So the Galicianers just like the Australians answer the question "did you come here to die?" with: no I kyme hea yesterday.
    Hebrew and Yiddish E (like egg) is pronounced [ei] like the letter name A, rhymes with pay, way and say.
    So Baruch Ata Hashem Elokenu Melekh Haolam....
    In the polish version would be pronounced: Bawrooch Ahtaw Hashame Eloykeinu Meilekh Ho'Oylom.
    Whcih changes to the Galicianer: Bureekh Ahtoo Hashime (rh;ymes with mime and prime), Ehloykahyeenee May-lekh (rhymes with pay, stay, play) Hoo'Oylom...
    See and Hear here: ua-cam.com/channels/iZXqxS2Bg7zRlXeOViIaIg.html
    Opening with Psalms Lkhu Nerannena Lashem Nahriya Letzur Yishenu.
    Polish Yiddish accent: Lkhu Nerannenaw Lashem Noriyo Letzur Yisheiynu
    Galicianer Ukrainian: Lekhee Nerannenu Lashahym Nuriyu Letzir Yishahyni.

    8:54 No my dear. Ukraina means "a land at the еdge". It comes from the word 'край', 'kraj', 'krai' which means 'end' or 'edge' , or 'border', or 'margin', and is used always to denote a territory which is at the edge of some bigger territory, state, or empire. The same is with the 'Kraina' region in Croatia, which was once the end part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a border with the Ottoman Empire.

It was artificial at the beginning, back in 1887, but now, 5 generations later, it has become a living language. Just like a test-tube baby becomes a child like any other child.

    Once this conflict is over, I suspect that Ukrainian will be the required language for education in whatever lands the national government of Ukraine rules over. This would be similar to what is now happening in Estonia and Latvia where there is now a large legal-push to make sure that all students are educated in the national languages of the two nations. So, as a result of the current strife, all these languages are likely to have bright futures. That may not be what anyone thought would happen when this conflict began.

      I very much hope that your family in Ukraine is as safe and well as it can be during these terrible times, and I am sure that all of your other subscribers feel that, as well. As for the matter of languages in areas such as the Baltics and Ukraine, though I do feel that bilingualism or having multiple official languages can be a positive policy in some regions of the world, methinks that it has gone too far for that with nations to Russia's West. Having Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian as the sole languages used in education and government in their respective nations will help reinforce the national solidarity of these countries and draw a demarcation betwixt the Russian Rodina and them. Unfortunately, the current Russian regime has shown that it will use the presence of Russian-speaking minorities as an excuse to interfere in the politics of and to invade the nations in which they reside. This saddens me because I have always been a Russophile and have always had sympathy for Russia's legitimate interests; however, there is no excuse for Russia's aggressive actions in Crimea, Eastern Ukraine and now the Ukrainian heartland itself.

    Aha! I see “pelmen[y]” on your short list of words that came from russian! I grew up in Canada where we always called them “perohy” (from Polish “pierogi”) but people from Ukraine tell me that “pelmeny” is the correct word. So, based on your video, I’ll assume that “perohy” predates “pelmeny” and that it’s not just a “Western Ukraine dialect thing”

      “pelmen[y]” - it's a dish with meat, russian kind of dish (based on asian kitchen).
      However varennyky (“pyrohy”- mostly named in villages) is Ukrainian national dish. They are bigger in size, сreated mostly with potato&onion, potato&cheese, cheese&apple, cherry etc. Actually you can combine anything and put in into dough (accept clean meat).
      Varennyky can be sweet or salty, are served with gravy, sauce or sour cream 🙂.

      Pierogi can also mean "pie" in some languages (In Russian a "пирог" is a "pie" though said pie is basically a cake without frosting and at times dry meanwhile "пирожки" is what is what Poles call "Pierogi")

      Pelmeny is not a Russian word, it's actually a Finno-Ugfic loanword in Russian, same as the dish itself was loaned from Finno-Ugric kitchen, and it's literal meaning is "meaty ear". Native Ukrainian dumplings are somewhat different from pel'meni and are called "varenyky" (or in Western Ukraine "perohy").

      True. Most Ukrainians don't know the the famous old Ukrainian folk song that has a line "Любив козак дівчину і з сиром пироги". Actually means that the cossak loved the girl and pyrohy(varenyky) with cottage cheese. For "сир" in Ukrainian means exactly the 'cottage cheese' and not the hard cheese. The cows were the main food supplier so people not being able to process milk fast enough always made tons of cottage cheese. My grandma made that dish(cheese varenyky/pyrohy) every day! My mom still hates 'cottage cheese' as she was fed up with it.
