The author looks into the feature of the language used in the aforementioned documents and argues that religious texts are marked with Ukrainian Church Slavonic properties and nonreligious texts with Middle Ukrainian properties. The second South Slavic influence as reflected in spelling alongside vernacular Ukrainian allows to speak not only about the Middle Ukrainian language foundation of the Transcarpathian written records but also about some Transcarpathian dialect features. A lack of secular records, i.e., official documents, reflecting predominately vernacular elements, except for the copy of the 1404 charter, gives, however, a vague idea of Middle Ukrainian language of administration and complicates the study of the history of the Transcarpathian dialect.
Keywords: Middle Ukrainian, Ukrainian Church Slavonic, the 14—15th century written Transcarpathian records, Transcarpathian dialect
