Cannot find any Romanyk in Ukrainian telephone directory

Susan,

The reason your search on the Ukrainian - Russian phonebook website did not find Romanyk was because you need to enter the name using Ukrainian letters. So Romanyk would be Романик

You can quickly learn the alphabet and many common words with an inexpensive language manual
Once you have a grasp of the alphabet you would enter the Ukrainian letters into a Ukrainian Keyboard to make the Ukrainian name or word. Then copy/paste the name from the keyboard into a document, website entry, etc.

    RE: Keyboard

    Just enter a letter and it appears in the result window.

    I believe the only language that uses Ґ is in Ukrainian. The sound doesn’t exist in many (any?) native Ukrainian words, but it is handy for borrowed words & words imitating sound.

    Wikipedia says that its use varies by region, with Western Ukrainian areas using it more consistently (incidentally, Western Ukraine is where Ukrainian language is more widely used, too, so…).
