Pay attention to the accents though. They make the two words sound very different, one has heavy accent on "i" and the other on the preceding "a". Украи́на [1]

Украи́на [1] vs. окра́ина [2]
But I see what you are saying. They are related.

- dghughes 10y agoI think I'd rather learn Kazakh using Latin letters than Irish with it's séimhiú system that h really is hard to grasp (I'm attempting to self learn it as a hobby). I wish there were accents not just fada it would seem more intuitive hey maybe Irish would be better written in Cyrillic. Maybe there should be a Celtic alphabet just for Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Manx, Cornish, Breton.
