History
In September 2012, Romanian became the regional language in the village of Bila Tserkva; meaning it was allowed to be used in administrative office work and documents.[1] This was made possible after new legislation on languages in Ukraine was passed in the summer of 2012.[1] However, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on 28 February 2018 ruled this legislation unconstitutional.[2]
Demographics
In 2001, 97.16% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 1.26% spoke Ukrainian.[3]
