Great Ukrainian Holy Bible, May 30, 2011
This review is from: Ukrainian Holy Bible (Hardcover)
Ukrainian is a language of the East Slavic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is the official state language of Ukraine. Written Ukrainian uses a variant of the Cyrillic alphabet.
The Ukrainian language traces its origins to the Old East Slavic of the early medieval state of Kievan Rus'. Ukrainian is a lineal descendant of the colloquial language used in Kievan Rus' (10th-13th century). From 1804 till the Russian Revolution Ukrainian was banned from schools in the Russian Empire where Ukraine was a part of at the time. It has always maintained a sufficient base among the Ukrainian people (especially in Western Ukraine where the language was never banned) in its folklore songs, itinerant musicians, and prominent authors.
