Ukrainian is the official language of Ukraine and is spoken by the majority of the population. Ukrainian belongs to the Slavic language family and shares many similarities with Russian and Belarusian. However, there are differences in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
In addition to Ukrainian, other languages are spoken, especially Russian and Romanian. In some regions in the east and south of the country, Russian is widely spoken, and there are Russian-language schools as well. Romanian is mainly spoken in the regions around Chernivtsi and Ivano-Frankivsk.
In schools in Ukraine, English is taught as a second language alongside Ukrainian. Other languages such as German, French, and Spanish are also offered as elective courses in some schools and universities.
There are also minority languages spoken in Ukraine, including Hungarian, Polish, Bulgarian, Greek, and Tatar. However, these languages do not have official status and are often only spoken within their respective communities.
