Wow, Ukraine language sure is a challenge due to all of the political and
cultural forces over the centuries. See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_language
So, the first question is what is the central focus of an interest in the
Ukraine language - more focused on contemporary media (newspapers,
magazines, government documents), literature, and social media (blog posts,
tweets) in Kiev, or more on historic literature/books and official
documents in the 20th Century? Or... what?
Which dialect(s) are your central focus? e.g., Middle Dnieprian ("the basis
of the Standard Literary Ukrainian")?
Any examples to give for technical issues such as stemming, punctuation,
word boundaries, compound words, stop words? Which modern language is
Ukrainian most similar to... Russian? How similar, how dissimilar?
