Abstract<\/strong>: The article analyzes the peculiarities of discussing the issue of languages of national mi\u00adnorities of Transcarpathia in Ukrainian online media between April 25, 2019 (after the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the Law \u201cOn Ensuring the Functioning of Ukrai\u00adnian as the State Language\u201d in the second reading) and December 2022. It has been traced that in Ukraine, the level of interest in Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, and Polish languages during this period (according to Google Trends) was heterogeneous and in\u00adcreased significantly after the outbreak of Russia\u2019s full-scale war against Ukraine on February 24, 2022.<\/p>\n

Publications on the languages of national minorities in Transcarpathia mainly concern the Hungarian community (75 %), with only a tiny part covering the Romanian (3 %), Slovak and Roma (2 % each), and German (1 %). 17 % of publications cover the issues of several national communities simultaneously. \u201cKarpatskyi Objektyv\u201d and \u201cZakarpat- tya online\u201d are the media that most often cover this issue. The analysis led to the con\u00adclusion\u00a0that before Russia\u2019s full-scale attack on Ukraine, online media covered the pros\u00adpects for the functioning of the Hungarian language in educational institutions in Transcarpathia most of all. However, after the beginning of Russia\u2019s post-wide invasion, this issue was relegated to the background, and more attention was paid to the function\u00ading of the Russian language in Ukraine, the discussion of the law on national minorities, and the creation of new opportunities for learning Ukrainian, including for representa\u00adtives of national minorities. Taking into account the observed content trends in media publications, it is suggested that the language issue has been a pretext for Hungary to obstruct Ukraine\u2019s integration with NATO rather than a reason.<\/p>\n

Keywords:<\/strong> language of national minorities, Transcarpathia, media, Hungarian language, Ro\u00admanian language, Slovak language, Ukrainian language.<\/p>\n
