Chahor

[1] Until 18 July 2020, Chahor belonged to Hlyboka Raion.

[2][3] According to the 2001 Ukrainian census, Chahor had a population of 4,264 inhabitants, out of which 3,776 (88.56%) were Ukrainian-speakers, 433 (10.15%) Romanian-speakers (including 238 self-identified Moldovan-speakers or 5.59%, and 195 self-identified Romanians-speakers, or 4.57%) and 48 Russian-speakers (1.13%).

[5] In 1989, a majority of the 3,840 inhabitants of the village were Ukrainians, but 1,095 were Romanians (28.52%) and 221 (5.76%) were Moldovans.

[6] The village was rather unique in that there was a significant number of self-identified ethnic Romanians who called their language Moldovan in 2001, which largely explains why in the raion there were 333 ethnic Romanians who called their language Moldovan.

[7] In the locality, a suburb of the city of Chernivtsi, a large number of rich ethnic Ukrainians have settled, and this partly explains the increase in the proportion of ethnic Ukrainians and Ukrainian-speakers, but so does Ukrainization in a village without a Romanian-language school, which also largely explains why many self-identified local ethnic Romanians called their language Moldovan in 2001.
