Question: On November 22, who met with the Russian leader that visited the country where the Surzhyk dialect is spoken, when the protests were taking place?

xiamen dialect, sometimes known as amoy, is the main dialect spoken in the chinese city of xiamen and its surrounding regions of tong'an and xiang'an, both of which are now included in the greater xiamen area. this dialect developed in the late ming dynasty when xiamen was increasingly taking over quanzhou's position as the main port of trade in southeastern china. quanzhou traders began travelling southwards to xiamen to carry on their businesses while zhangzhou peasants began traveling northwards to xiamen in search of job opportunities. it is at this time when a need for a common language arose. the quanzhou and zhangzhou varieties are similar in many ways (as can be seen from the common place of henan luoyang where they originated), but due to differences in accents, communication can be a problem. quanzhou businessmen considered their speech to be the prestige accent and considered zhangzhou's to be a village dialect. over the centuries, dialect leveling occurred and the two speeches mixed to produce the amoy dialect. <SEP> the malagasy language is of malayo-polynesian origin and is generally spoken throughout the island. the numerous dialects of malagasy, which are generally mutually intelligible, can be clustered under one of two subgroups: eastern malagasy, spoken along the eastern forests and highlands including the merina dialect of antananarivo, and western malagasy, spoken across the western coastal plains. french became the official language during the colonial period, when madagascar came under the authority of france. in the first national constitution of 1958, malagasy and french were named the official languages of the malagasy republic. madagascar is a francophone country, and french is mostly spoken as a second language among the educated population and used for international communication.no official languages were recorded in the constitution of 1992, although malagasy was identified as the national language. nonetheless, many sources still claimed that malagasy and french were official languages, eventually leading a citizen to initiate a legal case against the state in april 2000, on the grounds that the publication of official documents only in the french language was unconstitutional. the high constitutional court observed in its decision that, in the absence of a language law, french still had the character of an official language.in the constitution of 2007, malagasy remained the national language while official languages were reintroduced: malagasy, french, and english. english was removed as an official language from the constitution approved by voters in the november 2010 referendum. the outcome of the referendum, and its consequences for official and national language policy, are not recognized by the political opposition, who cite lack of transparency and inclusiveness in the way the election was organized by the high transitional authority. <SEP> Today the boundaries of the Ukrainian language to the Russian language are still not drawn clearly, with an intermediate dialect between them, called Surzhyk, developing in Ukraine. <SEP> The demonstrations coincided with a visit to Ukraine by Soviet President Gorbachev. In late February, large public rallies took place in Kiev to protest the election laws, on the eve of the March 26 elections to the USSR Congress of People's Deputies, and to call for the resignation of the first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Volodymyr Scherbytsky, lampooned as "the mastodon of stagnation." On February 26, 1989, between 20,000 and 30,000 people participated in an unsanctioned ecumenical memorial service in Lviv, marking the anniversary of the death of 19th Century Ukrainian artist and nationalist Taras Shevchenko. <SEP> In mid-November The Shevchenko Ukrainian Language Society was officially registered. On November 19, 1989, a public gathering in Kiev attracted thousands of mourners, friends and family to the reburial in Ukraine of three inmates of the infamous Gulag Camp No. On November 26, 1989, a day of prayer and fasting was proclaimed by Cardinal Myroslav Lubachivsky, thousands of faithful in western Ukraine participated in religious services on the eve of a meeting between Pope John Paul II and Soviet President Gorbachev. 36 in Perm in the Ural Mountains: human-rights activists Vasyl Stus, Oleksiy Tykhy, and Yuriy Lytvyn. Their remains were reinterred in Baikove Cemetery. On November 28, 1989, the Ukrainian SSR's Council for Religious Affairs issued a decree allowing Ukrainian Catholic congregations to register as legal organizations. The decree was proclaimed on December 1, coinciding with a meeting at the Vatican between the pope and the Soviet president.
