GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Ukrainian term or phrase:промисловiсть

Ukrainian to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary / spelling?
Ukrainian term or phrase: промисловость
промисловiсть is industry so what is the word above? Orthographical variation?

The problem may lie in the fact that my text comes from Russia/Ukraine and my Uk>En dictionary was published in Canada (presumably by Canadian Ukrainians). Are there differences in the language/spelling used by Ukrainians from Ukraine and 'zarubezhniye' Ukrainians?

Are there differences in the language/spelling used by Ukrainians from Ukraine and 'zarubezhniye' Ukrainians?+++Ukrainian Canadians often use a more archaic Ukrainian while Ukrainians in Ukraine use a more updated occasionaly more russified everyday language. The literal Ukrainian language is the Poltavian dialekt(Poltav'skyj dialekt) which is recognized by Ukrainians worldwide as the official literary language. P.S in Ukrainian it is "zakordoni" Ukrainians not "zarubezhnye" Ukrainians
(zarubezhnye is in Russian :)).
Over 70% of Ukrainian words are different from Russian.

neutral  Ludwig Chekhovtsov: Якщо вважати, що українське м'ясо є different from Russian мясо, то тоді, дйсно, може таки більше ніж 70% (цікаво, хто ж це вирахував?). By the by "zarubehnye" Ukrainians in Ukrainian are "zakordonni" (double "n") Ukrainians.

  -> Тут не йдеться про апостроф або орфографію. в Україні неодноразово стикався з аналізами двох, так би мовити, сусідніх мов. Загальний висновок-понад 70% українських слів відрізняются від російських. Безумовно суперечлива тема..
