		Yet with their coming into being the interaction of kin languages continued and resulted in the emergence of new "mixed" language forms that were called surzhik in Ukraine and trasyanka in Byelorussia.
		Formation of independent states and the process of "construction of national self-identity" in the former Soviet republics produced a strong influence over the language situation in them.
		Language reflection, prompted by the struggle for the "purity" of the newly-obtained state language, shifted surzhik and trasyanka into the focus of public attention, mass media, discourse of various political parties.

	Kharkiv Oblast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The oblast is the third most populous region of Ukraine, with a population of 2,857,751 (as of 2004), more than half (1.5 million) of whom live in the city of Kharkiv (Kharkov), the oblast's administrative center.
		While the Russian language is primarily spoken in the city of Kharkiv, elsewhere in the oblast most inhabitants speak a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian called Surzhik.
		The territory of the Kharkiv oblast has been permanently inhabited since at least the late Paleolithic period (10,000–12,000 years ago) but archaeological evidence indicates a human (Neanderthal) presence as early as the Mousterian period some 80,000 years ago.

	The Pavlovtsy
		From 1899 to 1909, several Pavlovtsy families including the Dudchenko, Ol'khovik, Matveyenko, Surzhik, Tverdokhleb, Turchin, Prokopenko, Koshcheyenko, Eremenko, Teterenko and Sereda families settled among the Doukhobors in the Kamsack district of Saskatchewan.
		This follows an unsuccessful attempt to banish them in 1894 which failed because the village assembly was not empowered to pass a sentence of banishment on religious grounds.
		Yakov Surzhik is standing second from the right in the fourth row.

		Particularly, the language situation in bigger cities is characterized by the fact that less frequent use of the Ukrainian language in informal setting contradicts a rather high level of its prestige.
		Informants of various age and educational background, speaking Ukrainian and Russian at different levels or speaking "surzhik" only often supported the idea of making Ukrainian the only official language or chose to educate their children and grandchildren in Ukrainian.
		The language of informal communication for them is still either Russian or "surzhik".

		There are certain social problems with speaking in trasianka, especially the issue of generation gap that trasianka and literary Belarusian create between parents and children, and the rejection and alienation that has been experienced by some nationalistic activists who insist on using correct literary Belarusian.
		There is a similar sociolinguistic phenomenon in Ukraine, an Ukrainian-Russian pidgin that is called surzhik.
		Overall, trasianka has been ignored by the mainstream linguists and sociologists in Belarus and abroad.
