The Transcarpathian dialect is a dialect of the Ukrainian language spoken in Zakarpattia Oblast.
It is widespread in the valley of South Carpathians and the right bank of the Tisza river. It is used in some villages of Slovakia and Romania. It is bordered by the Boyko dialect to the north, the Hutsul dialect to the east, and by the Polish, Slovak, Hungarian and Romanian languages to the west.
The main features of the Transcarpathian dialect were formed by the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Written monuments, which reflected the features of the Transcarpathian dialect, were found from the beginning of the 15th century. The dialect was used by some writers, such as V. Dovhovych (1783-1849) and M. Nod (1819-1862). During the 19th century the usage of the dialect decreased because of neighboring languages more widely used. The dialect was studied by linguists I. Fogorashii, I. Verkhratskyi, Pavlo Chuchka and others.
The Transcarpathian has 4 subdialects:
