Korets is not Galicia – it’s Volyn. BTW I believe I can help you with the translation

Neither this or that. Ukrainian “В” sound is something in the middle between English V and W sounds. It tends to be closer to V in Eastern parts and closer to W in Carpathian Mountains and close to them

i quess yes? because Galucian Ukranian in the same dialect family as Guzulskiy

No Rusyn is not its own language. It is a dialect and on a continuum of the Ukrainian language. The endonym Rusyn was common amongst all Ukrainians up to the 17-18th centuries, it is simply a historic term for Ukrainians. Just as Moravians is for Czechs. The concept of Rusyn identity and language was historically sponsored by the Tsarist regime and now funded by current Russian authorities. Many members of the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine also foment this identity. The only differentiating features of Rusyn dialect are the occassional use of Slovak or Hungarian words.

Would Galician Ukrainian be the same as Rusyn/Ruthenian? That would be the language my family spoke.

I think this amazing comment I found on the internet sums it up “Я не раз помічала, що ‘галицький діалект’ виявився свого роду притулком для слів, які чомусь протрапили під репресії.”

I don’t speak Ukrainian with a palatalization of a ‘v’ into a ‘w’ as some Western Ukrainians do but I feel in the interests of linguistic accuracy I must also defend this.
This is not as has been suggested a random of influence of the Polish language, or as it was alarming written on another interesting and engaging article of this blog ‘geneological deformity’ rather the turning of a ‘v’ into a ‘w’ is unique to and prized part of the Ukrainian language, that should be preserved.
Polish people turn a broken l e.g. ‘ł’ into a ‘w’ sound, Poles do not turn their ‘v’ into ‘w’. Some contest however that because Poles say ‘małpa’ and Western Ukrainian turn ‘mavpa’ into ‘małpa’ then this proves the inflection derives from Polish. The word money in Polish and Ukrainian is a linguistic aberration, whereby the parts of each language that create a ‘w’ sound happen to align.
There are hundreds of words where the opposite occurs, Western Ukrainians or some Western Ukrainians pronounce Lviv as Lviw, this simply does not happen in Polish where it continues to be called ‘Lwów’ with a clear ‘v’ at the end.
Last names like Radziwiłł would be pronounced by Ukrainians as it is spelt in English with the ‘w’ pronounced as a ‘w’ and the ‘l’ pronounced as an l, the opposite occurs in Polish with the ‘w’ pronounced as a ‘v’ and the ‘l’ pronounced as a ‘w’.
It is likely the origin of this palatalized ‘w’ is of the same origin as the Czech au (that turns into a w) auto is pronounced ‘awto’ in Czech or the Belarusian Ў.

To be honest I really think Ukrainians in general need to stop critiquing how each other speak, its divisive and creates issues. The only forum for this should be academia, however, if anyone should be challenged to speak a more Ukrainian Ukrainian it would be where I come from, around Kharkiv or Eastern Ukraine in general. I feel that as someone that used to say call many words authentic Ukrainian words (polonisms) that this is a convenient excuse for those whose Ukrainian skills are not good or feel insecure. People that speak Ukrainian on a daily basis, make an effort to continue its usage should not have to be told how to speak a language by a person who does not use it.

Hence, in the complete opposite vein as Luba, I would please caution you from describing authentic Ukrainian words as ‘polonisms’ or even ‘galicisms’ for whilst there are like every language true dialectisms many of these words now being ascribed as ‘galicisms’ were common in the Ukrainian vernacular only a century ago, before being replaced by what are justifiably called ‘Russisms’.
