Ukraine has one official national language – Ukrainian, Eastern Slavic language with Cyrillic script. Polish, Jewish, Crimean Tatar, Hungarian, Belarusian, Romanian, Slovak and Bulgarian are among other languages of ethnic minorities.
Ukrainian alphabet is Cyrillic with 33 letters. All official documentation, education process, diplomatic and parliamentary debates are on Ukrainian only. Ukrainian became more popular in the capital because of the restoration of its prestige and status of the national language. Also, many students and workers from Western Ukraine came to Kyiv, so the Ukrainian-speaking population in the city increased.
