Pokuttia–Bukovina dialect

The Pokuttia–Bukovina dialect (Ukrainian: Покутсько-буковинський говір, romanized: Pokutsko-bukovynskyi hovir) is a dialect of the Ukrainian language that originated in Pokuttia and Bukovina under the influence of the Romanian language. Along with Hutsul, Upper Prutian and Upper Sannian dialects, it is part of the archaic Galician-Bukovinian group of dialects. The dialect is locally spoken in areas of Western Ukraine south of the Dniester and east of the Carpathian Mountains, which includes parts of Chernivtsi Oblast, excluding its extreme western regions, and the eastern part of Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast. The dialectal area is centered around Kolomyia and Chernivtsi.
