Talk:Ukrainian Latin alphabet

message: The Ukrainian Latin Alphabet, or Latynka is based on both Polish and Czech, perhaps similar to the Belarussian Łacinka as well. In Czech, the diacritics also work differently with different letters. For example: š - sh and ň - nj. This system is not flawed. It is a system that makes Ukrainian more European, and makes it even easier for travelers. That is why I made it more European in the first place! For example, if Czech visitors come to Ukraine, not knowing how to read Cyrillic, and they look at a sign that says, Київ, what will they do? If they see a sign that says, Kyjiv, it's close enough for them to figure it out for themselves.
This script is not just for transliteration, but maybe even for future use as a second way to write Ukrainian. Why not make a Latin alphabet that is not only used for transliteration, but for people who might accept the idea to use the Latynka? They may decide to write books, webpages, and other things with it.
The reason why the table is the way it is, because it is to show the similarities between the Cyrillic and Latin.
I will try to find additional information about its use during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
The reason why this script is more perfect, than perhaps the others, is because other nonofficial-proposals use ğ for ґ, g for г, and x for x. The Ğ sign is not used in any of the Western Slavic Alphabets, which would confuse people.
The current transliteration is only official for English. If the Latynka becomes official, all Latin-based alphabets wouldn't have to mispell Ukrainian names.
Can someone please delete the Ukrajinśka Łatynka? Or maybe redirect it to Ukrainian Latin Alphabet or Łatynka. I am not able to do so.
If there are anymore questions, I would be happy to answer them.

message: I removed a statement that Ukrainian has been written with the Cyrillic script since the eighth-century. This couldn't be true, as the Cyrillic alphabet wasn't created until at least the late ninth century. 	--Ntilev (talk) 23:27, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

message: As the author of the browser extension, I appreciate it being referenced.
The Mozilla Add-ons website published Ukrajinsjka Latynka extension to transliterate Ukrainian texts from Cyrillic to Latin script on web pages.
This correctly states the fact for Firefox extension, but could be improved to be more helpful to the public:
* This misses the fact that the extension is published for Chrome too.
* It would be more useful if the link was pointing to the landing page at https://paiv.github.io/latynka/
* The name should be updated.
I'm not sure why it appears in the Characteristics section.
Please help me in improving this reference.
