[edit] Polish or Ukrainian?

I was under the impression Chernozem is a direct transliteration from Ukrainian. ie: the English Chernozem sounds identical to the Ukrainian word, whereas the Polish word does not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yakym (talk • contribs) 19:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Or perhaps Russian?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Russian_origin. It would make more sense as other soil types - for instance podsol and solonetz come from Russian. With respect, Ko Soi IX 10:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
