Talk:Zaporizhzhia

Name
This is from Zaporizhzhia:

Zaporizhzhya (, ; Запорі́жжя ), also known as Zaporozhye (Запоро́жье, ) and formerly as Alexandrovsk (Алекса́ндровск ) or Oleksandrivsk (Олекса́ндрівськ ), is a city in south-eastern Ukraine, situated on the banks of the Dnipro.

Got that? So, it's in Eastern Ukraine, but later in the Wikipedia article, the 2001 Census is cited, with Ukrainians making up 70.28% of the population. However, according to the same census, 56.8% of the population were native speakers of Russian in that year, as opposed to 41.6% being native speakers of Ukrainian (and no-one was a native speaker of both???).

I have no idea where that leaves us, and I don't trust the relevance of a 20-year-old census. Has there been a more recent one? Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:58, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
