The language and many elements of their traditional culture are still preserved and maintained in four Albanian villages: Karakurt, Tyushki, Taz and Dzhandran. From ethnolinguistic and linguistic points of view these Albanian villages are of particular interest and value, since they are excellent examples of a "melting pot." Bulgarians and Gagauz live side by side with Albanians in Karakurt; Russians and Ukrainians share the same space with Albanians in the Azov district. It is worth mentioning that in multi-lingual environments Albanian patois retains its original Balkan features. Co-existence and cultural and language interference with different ethnic groups have resulted in the emergence of unique cultural and language peculiarities typical of Albanians settled in the Ukraine.
