Dear OpenAI Team,

I am writing to propose the inclusion of classical Ukrainian language resources, specifically the historical dictionaries by Ahatanhel Krymsky and Borys Yefremov (early 20th century), into the training data for your language models.

These dictionaries represent the purest form of Ukrainian lexicon and style, free from later Soviet-era linguistic distortions and calques. Integrating them would greatly enhance the quality, authenticity, and cultural accuracy of Ukrainian language generation by your models.

Many users, including myself, would benefit from a model capable of producing classical and normatively correct Ukrainian, as opposed to the current tendency to reproduce modern, sometimes corrupted, or heavily calqued language found in online sources.

I believe that adding these historical linguistic resources would not only improve Ukrainian language support but also demonstrate OpenAI’s commitment to preserving and promoting linguistic heritage and diversity.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I would be glad to provide further information or assistance if needed.

Best regards,
