Bila Tserkva (Ukrainian: Біла Церква, Romanian: Biserica Albă, Hungarian: Fejéregyháza or Fehéregyháza or Tiszafejéregyháza, Slovak: Bilá Cirkev) is a village in Tiachiv Raion, Zakarpattia Oblast, Ukraine. It belongs to Solotvyno rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
History
In September 2012, Romanian became the regional language in the village of Bila Tserkva; meaning it was allowed to be used in administrative office work and documents.[1] This was made possible after new legislation on languages in Ukraine was passed in the summer of 2012.[1] However, the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on 28 February 2018 ruled this legislation unconstitutional.[2]
Demographics
In 2001, 97.16% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language, while 1.26% spoke Ukrainian.[3]

- Victoria Darvai (1926–2016), Romanian folk musician
