In the big cities and smaller towns, festivals and festival-like events take place from the second half of January until mid-December. The area inhabited by Hungarians also organises a significant number of festivals and festival-like events every year. Many of these are known throughout Ukraine and even more widely. Among the festivals in the region, folk art and folklore festivals are the most popular, while gastronomic festivals are in the second position. Gastronomic festivals (especially wine festivals) have become an increasingly important part of festival tourism in Transcarpathia, attracting a significant number of domestic visitors.

The prestige of the Hungarian language, the demand for learning Hungarian as a foreign language has grown significantly in the past few years in Transcarpathia, Ukraine. The possibility of teaching Hungarian as a foreign language within an institutional framework, as well as in the state education system was realized with the passing of the language law in 2012. A keen interest could and can still be observed in the possibility to learn Hungarian as a foreign ...

In each new edition there was an attempt to update the rules according to era and language use. The principles of Hungarian orthography had already appeared in the first stage of academic unification, as the edition entitled The Principles and Rules of Hungarian Orthography, published in 1877, containing the four principles of spelling: following pronunciation (writing in accordance with pronounciation), word analysis, traditional spelling and simplification.

A jogszabály kötelezően előírja az államnyelv használatát a társadalmi élet minden területén. A 2014–2019 között az országot kormányzó politikai tábor akkor fogadott el törvényt az államnyelv védelméről, amikor (egy vesztes elnökválasztás után) át kellett adniuk a hatalmat. A törvény nem oldja fel a nyelvi kérdés körül kialakult társadalmi feszültséget. Ellenkezőleg: a jogszabály további konfliktusok forrása. Ez az elemzés azt mutatja be, hogy a törvényben foglalt rendelkezések nem egyeztethetők össze Ukrajna nemzetközi kötelezettségvállalásaival. A törvény tévút az ukrán nyelvpolitikában
