Gagauz

There are about 150.000 Gagauz living in south Moldova, mainly, around Komrat the capital of Gagauzia, we may say. Gagauz are 3.5% of the population of Moldovaa. There are also small Gagauz communities in Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria. Gagauz are orthodox crhistians speaking a turkic language, that was written in the greek alphabet till 1957, and afterwars in cyrillic; we do not how they write it now, since Moldavia is independent (there are several romanisation systems in use, it seems). We have adopted a latinisation scheme based on the model of Turkish, as names come from a cyrillic source (see notes above).

Gagauz

150.000 Gagauz bizi dira Moldaviako hegoaldean, Gagauziaren hiriburutzat jo dezakegun Komrat hiriaren inguruan. Moldaviako biztanleriaren %3.5 dira. Komunitate txikiagoak daude Ukraina, Errumania eta Bulgarian. Gagauzak kristau ortodoxoak dira, eta hizkuntza turkiar batez mintzo dira. Hizkuntza hori alfabeto grekoz idazten zen 1957 arte, gero zirilikoz eta orain ez dakigu, baina eredu latino bat baino gehiago omen dago. Hemen latinizazio eredu bat erabili dugu iturri zirilikoetatik hartu baititugu izenak, eta turkieraren idazkeran oinarritu gara (ikus goiko oharrak).

Ukrainian in Transdniestr

The status of Transdniestr region is not fully settled. This easternmost region of Moldavia, east of Dniestr river, is mainly populated by Russians and Ukrainians, and Russian is the mayor language there. The inhabitants of the area are called "rusophones" in most news from there, but as there is a sizable Ukrainian community, we include here the Ukrainian placenames for that area. In 1995, out of 4,5 million people in Moldavia, 562.000 were ethnic Russians and 600.000 Ukrainians. For spellings, see notes above.

Ukrainiera Transnistrian

Transnistria eskualdearen estatusa ez dago erabat finkatua egungo Moldavian. Han errusiar eta ukrainiarrak dira nagusi, eta Moldaviako agintearen indarra ez dago argi. Itxuraz, eskualde honek errusieraz funtzioatzen du nagusiki, baina ukrainera gutxiengo hizkuntzatzat jo liteke eskualde horretan. 1995ean, Moldavian ,4,5 milioi lagun bizi ziren, horietarik 562.000 errusiarrak eta 600.000 ukrainiarrak.

Romanian in Ukraine

Stimations of Romanian (including Moldavian) speakers in Ukraine run from 250,000 to 750,000. In 1939 multiethnic Bukovina, the region around Chernivtsi, with a great Romanian population was included in the Soviet Union. We have Romanian placenames for that area, but spellings are not totally checked. For spellings, see notes above.

Errumaniera Ukrainian

Zenbat lagun mintzo da errumanieraz (= moldavieraz) Ukrainan? 250.000tik 750.000rainoko kalkuluak egin dira. 1939an Bukovina iparraldeko eskualde multietnikoa, Txernivtsi ingurukoa, Sobiet Batasunean sartu zuten, eta han errumaniar populazio handia zegoen. Gure toki-izenak eskualde hartakoak dira. Errumanierazko ortografia ez da oso segurua, adi. Idazkerari dagokionez, ikus goiko oharrak.
