Mostly in Arabic). But, I think, their vocabulary in Russian is quite enough to sell you something.

If in tourist places, then everyone knows a little Russian and English, and now Ukrainian has been tightened up, and if the markets where the locals live, IMHO it is mainly the Arabic Egyptian dialect.

As of October 2018, almost all sellers at the old market spoke Russian. Units even inserted Ukrainian and Belarusian phrases)

oh, yes, in Russian, Ukrainian. Broken English, why do you need the language they speak? a couple of phrases in English and a finger on what you liked)) And voila, you are shopping, the main thing here is to be able to bargain. You can immediately drop the price by half.

There, sellers can express themselves in any language just to sell the goods. The price is called in dollars, dump half at once or exchange for vodka or chocolate.

Arabs are born hucksters. When they need it, they will definitely give you something ... they will understand in any language, even in Chinese.

All merchants know Russian, they have no chance to survive if they do not know it, because only our tourist can sell a cup, papyrus, oil

several English words, several Russian words + sign language and 100% understanding. Do not forget that it is MANDATORY to bargain, otherwise you will not be respected

And I don't like to bargain, I can't, I'm even disgusted to do it. so MY TIP: you can get to the George Clooney store from any hotel for free (prices are almost the same as in the old town, because in December the prices in the old town went up). in Russian, take hryvnias, will be taken to the hotel also free of charge.
