Editing Ukrainian language (section)

===Ukrainian diaspora===
Ukrainian is also spoken by a large [[émigré]]e population, particularly [[Canadian Ukrainian|in Canada]], the United States, and several countries of South America like Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}} The founders of this population primarily emigrated from [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]], which used to be part of [[Austro-Hungary]] before World War I, and belonged to Poland between the World Wars. The language spoken by most of them is the Galician dialect of Ukrainian from the first half of the 20th century. Compared with modern Ukrainian, the vocabulary of Ukrainians outside Ukraine reflects less influence of Russian, but often contains many [[loanwords]] from the local language.{{citation needed|date=October 2023}}

Most of the countries where it is spoken are [[Post-Soviet states|ex-USSR]], where many Ukrainians have migrated. Canada and the United States are also home to a large Ukrainian population. Broken up by country (to the nearest thousand):<ref name=e27/>
