Mariupolitan Greek, or Crimean Greek also known as Tauro-Romaic[2] or Ruméika (Rumaíica, from Greek: Ρωμαίικα, "Romaic"; Russian: Румейский язык, romanized: Rumeyskiy yazyk; Ukrainian: Румейська мова, romanized: Rumeys'ka mova), is a Greek dialect 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 Rumeíka, 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.[3]
