Correct anon, same as Latvian even though not Cyrillic based language.
I should've clarified it's phonetically why English and other Western language countries have always referred to Ukraine as The Ukraine.
Exactly. Why should we change our historic usage, when we don't change the way we have historically pronounced its name?
The cryillic language is fascinating. Do you know anything else?
Lingually? Bits of stuff, enough to get by I suppose. German, Spanish, Lithuanian... but I've created many holes in my hard drive since school.
English & Latvian I am fluent.
