Tarasivtsi

Tarasivtsi (Romanian: Tărăsăuți; Ukrainian: Тарасівці; Russian: Тарасовцы) is a village in Ukraine in the Novoselytsia Raion, Chernivtsi Oblast. The population of the village is more than 5000 people, of which 95% are ethnic Romanians and Moldovans.[1]

Tarasivtsi is notable as the only place in Ukraine where the Romanian language has been designated as a regional language. This occurred after Ukraine permitted regional languages to be designated in August 2012. Tarasivtsi (Tărăsauți) is located next to the Romanian border. The river Prut flows through the village. [2]
