Dnistrovskyi Raions, with Dynivtsi being transferred to Chernivtsi Raion. In 2001, 96.14% of the inhabitants spoke Romanian as their native language (69.93% called in Moldovan and 26.21% Romanian), while 3.48% spoke Ukrainian. According to the 1989 census, the number of inhabitants who declared themselves Romanians plus Moldovans was 3,026 (22 Romanians or 0.68% and 3,004 Moldovans or 92.79%), representing 93.48% of the population of 3,237. A large minority of the population switched their declared census identities from Moldovan and Moldovan-speaking to Romanian and Romanian-speaking between the 1989 and 2001 censuses, and the process has continued ever since.
