| description | In this article, we aim to discuss the ways of Ukrainian identity articulated to values of the Ukrainian language and to the Catholic religion of the Ukrainian rite in a rural multilingual community in the municipality of Prudentópolis, in the southeast of the state of Paraná, in the south of Brazil. The data discussed are the result of an ethnography of language (SEMECHECHEM, 2016) and was generated through participant observation, field notes, interviews and audio and video recordings. The theoretical-methodological perspective are multilingualism as a set of ideologically informed communicative resources (HELLER, 2007) which make up our linguistic repertoires (BLOMMAERT, 2010) articulated with social identities (BUCHOLTZ, HALL, 2004, 2005; OLIVEIRA, 2000). The results of the analysis showed that the participants consider the local Ukrainian language as a symbol of membership and local identity of Ukraineness. This identity is associated with ethnicity, religion, rural work and the Ukrainian language and represents what it is to be Ukrainian from a rural community of Brazil.
