Tarasivtsi

Tarasivtsi (Romanian: Tărăsăuți; Ukrainian: Тарасівці; Russian: Тарасовцы) is a village in Ukraine in the Novoselytsia Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast. The population of the village is more than 5000 people, of which 95% are ethnic Romanians and Moldovans.[1]

Tarasivtsi is notable as the only place in Ukraine where the Romanian language has been designated as a regional language. This occurred after Ukraine permitted regional languages to be designated in August 2012.[2]
