| Riepilogo: | Islam in Ukraine is dominated by two religious organisations. The DUMU represents Islamic traditionalism' and uses the Russian language in its publications. The DUMU-Umma pursues an Islamist/reformist agenda and uses the Ukrainian language. This article discusses the two organisations' language strategies against the background of the political conflicts in Ukraine, and the changes this has brought to the country's Muslim communities. While the DUMU can rely on the existing Russian Islamic sociolect for its discourse, a Ukrainian-language Islamic discourse and, by extension, an Islamic variant of the Ukrainian language are in their initial phase of formation. Yet, the Russian annexation of Crimea and the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine have provided a strong stimulus for Ukraine's Muslims to experiment with the Ukrainian language in order to proclaim their integration into Ukrainian society and their loyalty to the state. |
