Mariupol Greek (natively known as руме́ку гло́са ([rʊˈmʲɛkʊ ˈɣɫosa])[3][4]), also known as Crimean Greek and Tauro-Romaic[5] (from Greek: Ρωμαίικα, "Romaic"; Ukrainian: Румейська мова, romanized: Rumeyska mova), is a Greek variety spoken by the ethnic Greeks living along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, in southeastern Ukraine; the community itself is referred to as Azov Greeks.
Although Mariupol Greek, along with the Urum language, remained the main language spoken by the Azov Greeks well into the 20th century, currently it is used by only a small part of Ukraine's ethnic Greeks.[6]
