Chung, I thought you might find this interesting to read about Ukrainian and Russian.

Interesting? Perhaps. Relevant? Hardly.

Sorry Jon but I can't even dignify that rag-writer's "work" with a comment.

- The Seven Natural Wonders of Ukraine: These seven natural attractions were chosen in 2008 using a format similar to the one used a year earlier to choose seven historical/cultural attractions.

1) Natural Reserve of Askania-Nova
2) Granite-steppe land of Buh
3) Canyon of the Dnister River
4) Marble Caves in Crimea
5) Banks in “Podilski Tovtry” National Envrionmental Park
6) Lake Svityaz’
7) Lake Synevyr

Erhm.Perhaps we should include the Chernobyl contaminated zone as the 8th natural wonder? (sorry, silly joke ^_^')

In addition to native words originating from Proto-Slavonic, Ukrainian has a sizeable stock of loanwords from Polish and Russian because of the long influence of these languages on Ukrainians. There are also some loanwords from other European languages (e.g. French, German, Greek) and Turkic languages.
Some words common to other Slavonic languages but not direct loanwords into Ukrainian include:

- де = ... где (Bulgarian, Russian)
- ити = ... Cf. ида = I go (Bulgarian)

Just to mention these two are literary and out of use in Bulgarian (and the г- in где is optional); I'm not sure, but that could also apply to some of the other "Proto-Slavonic" examples.

Wise. I have not seen so many stupidities uttered in such a short article in my life.

I do however think your language profile was outstanding. I enjoyed every word of it.
