Rusyn (/ˈruːsɪn/ ROO-sin;[citation needed] Carpathian Rusyn: русиньскый язык, romanized: rusîn'skyj jazyk; Pannonian Rusyn: руски язик, romanized: ruski jazik)[16][17] is an East Slavic language spoken by Rusyns in parts of Central and Eastern Europe, and written in the Cyrillic script.[18] The majority of speakers live in an area known as Carpathian Ruthenia that spans from Transcarpathia, westward into eastern Slovakia and south-east Poland.[19] There is also a sizeable Pannonian Rusyn linguistic island in Vojvodina, Serbia,[19] as well as a Rusyn diaspora throughout the world.[20][21] Per the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, Rusyn is officially recognized as a protected minority language by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Poland (as Lemko), Serbia, and Slovakia.[12]

The categorization of Rusyn as a language or dialect is a source of controversy.[22] Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian, as well as American and some Polish and Serbian linguists treat it as a distinct language[23][needs update] (with its own ISO 639-3 code), whereas other scholars (in Ukraine, Poland, Serbia, and Romania) treat it as a dialect of Ukrainian.[24][needs update]
