Pannonian Rusyn Language
Pannonian Rusyn (, ), also historically referred to as Yugoslav Rusyn, is a variety of the Slovak language, spoken by the Pannonian Rusyns, primarily in the regions of Vojvodina (northern part of modern Serbia) and Slavonia (eastern part of modern Croatia), and also in the Pannonian Rusyn diaspora in the United States and Canada. Since Rusyns are officially recognized as a national minority both in Serbia and Croatia, their language is also recognized as a minority language, and in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina (Serbia) it is employed as one of six official provincial languages. In some non- Slavic languages, Pannonian Rusyns may be referred to by somewhat archaic exonyms, such as Pannonian ''Ruthenes'' or Pannonian ''Ruthenians'', and their language is thus labeled as Pannonian ''Ruthenian'', but such terminology is not used in the native (Rusyn) language. '' Ruthenian'' exonyms are also viewed as imprecise, since they have several broader meanings, both in terms of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Terminology The term Pannonian Plain refers to the lowland parts of the Pannonian Basin as well as those of some adjoining regions like Lower Austria, Moravia, and Silesia (Czech Republic and Poland). The lands adjoining the plain proper are sometimes also called ''peri-Pannonian''. In English language, the terms "Pannonian Basin" and "Carpathian Basin" may sometimes be used synonymously, although the latter holds an irredentist Hungarian connotation. The name "Pannonian" ...
