Ukrainian

[Bohdan Peter Rekshynskyj]

Greetings,

   This information is available on the main Ukrainian web site
I run.  It is known as the Ukraine FAQ Plus Project and is located at
http://www.std.com/sabre/UKRAINE.html

Please click on the "About Ukraine" section.
You will see an article about transliteration.  This is from
the government newspaper, "Governmental Courier (Uriadovyi Kur'yer)".
I hope you can read Ukrainian (it is the language of Ukraine and all
governmental publications are published in this state/official
language).
Anyway, you'll find this in the section "Rozyasnennya" - article
2.

                        Regards,

                                Bohdan Petro Rekshyns'kyi
