The official language is Ukrainian , spoken by some 58% of the population. There are many speakers of languages from other parts of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, particularly Russian (11 335 000 speakers); Belorussian (440 000 speakers); Polish (1 151 000 speakers) and Romanian (500 000 speakers). Of other indigenous languages, there are some 240 000 Romani -speakers; 100 000 Rusyn -speakers and a small number of Urum -speakers.

Numbers include Crimea, now a de facto part of Russia.

Ukrainian names are formed by a given name followed by the surname, between may be a patronymic, which shows filiation to the father:

   Ivan Ivanovitch Tolstoy

The patronymic is often formed by adding –vych (“son of”) or -ivna (“daughter of”) to the given name of the father.

Women often take their husband’s name (feminised) upon marriage.

Address formats in Ukraine are found in two ways. The first is opposite to the way addresses are formatted in Western Europe - the postal code and town comes first, then the street address, then the name of the person or company. Postal codes are also sometimes found written after the city name. For example:

Recently the Ukrainian postal authorities have started encouraging the use of address formats in the more common “Western European” order, in this way:

   Full name
   Street name[ ]house number{[ ]flat number}
   SETTLEMENT NAME
   Postal code

For example:

On 1^st August 1999 Ukraine introduced a postal code format which is a block of 5 digits. The old postal codes wereblock of 6 digits, which was that from the former Soviet Union. Both the new and the old codes are likely to be found for some time in address databases.

The new postal code is composed as follows: in rural areas, the first two digits indicate the territory, the third the city and the final two the distribution post office; in urban areas, the first two digits indicate the district, the final three the destination. The codes can start with any digits between 01 and 99.
