Bila Tserkva (Ukrainian: Біла Церква, Romanian: Biserica Albă, Hungarian: Fejéregyháza or Fehéregyháza or Tiszafejéregyháza, Slovak: Bilá Cirkev) is a village in Tiachiv Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Solotvyno rural hromada [uk], one of the hromadas of Ukraine.

History

[edit]

In September 2012, Romanian became the regional language in the village of Bila Tserkva; meaning it was allowed to be used in administrative office work and documents.[1] This was made possible after new legislation on languages in Ukraine was passed in the summer of 2012.[1] However, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on 28 February 2018 ruled this legislation unconstitutional.[2]

Demographics

[edit]

In 2001, 97.16% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 1.26% spoke Ukrainian.[3]
