Azirivka information

Azirivka (Ukrainian: Азірівка) or Azirovka (Ukrainian: Азіровка) is a derisive name for the broken Ukrainian of the former Ukrainian prime minister Mykola Azarov. The term is produced by the corruption of his surname in an exaggerated way according to the "rules" of Azirivka.^[1] The term was later applied to the speech of other Ukrainian politicians with poor command of Ukrainian.^[2] It should be distinguished from surzhyk, which is an arbitrary colloquial mix of several languages, akin to pidgin, most commonly Ukrainian and Russian, widespread in Ukraine.
