How construction language sounds

Short construction texts read aloud by contributors from different regions of Ukraine. Only recordings that passed moderation appear here — and only while their speakers consent to publishing their voice.

One sentence, different regions

Texts read by speakers from at least two regions — compare how they sound.

Dialect variants

When people where a speaker comes from say it differently, the speaker edits the text to match and reads it their way. Struck through: the text as written; highlighted: what was read.

Regions

The region is where a speaker comes from — where their pronunciation took shape — not where the recording was made. Contributors state it themselves.
